Perhaps there could be a way to send ssip commands using
/proc/speakup/synth_direct although a change may have to be made to
speechd-up to support it. Something like that seems the easiest way to
let userland scripts use the full power of speech-dispatcher without
having to add lots of stuff to the speakup code. I've still got a
working doubletalk here and don't use software speech much, so I may be
totally off base, but just my $0.02.
