Speechd_up Quiet as a Church Mouse!

Well, I've been following the latest rage and am trying to get
software speech going with Speakup.  I successfully installed
speech-despatcher and the spd-say command does work; I do get sound
from that point.  However, Speakup does not talk.  Speechd_up built
and installed successfully and I run speechd_up after echoing sftsyn
to /proc/speakup/synth_name but Speakup still silent.  Do I have to
have the latest CVS of Speakup in order to do this? I think mine is
still Dec. 28th from CVS.  The speech-dispatcher and speechd_up apps
are both latest CVS as of today May 2nd.  What could I be missing
here? Yes, I do have sftsyn picked as a module when speakup was
built.  doing an 'lsmod' shows that speakup_sftsyn was indeed loaded.

Any ideas?
