I do know from personal experience that in speakup 1.5 and earlier,
you will not get pitch changes with capital or lowercase letters using
the bns driver, unless you first change something, anything, such as
rate or pitch, in /proc/speakup. Once you do that, you do get the
pitch changes indicating the case of the letters.
