Trouble with speech dispatcher.

More specificly, I'm having trouble with speechd-up.  It says it cannot
find /dev/softsynth.  Well, I have had that device all along and I just
now rebuilt it in case there was something wrong and I still have the
problem.  I'm now using Speakup from latest CVS with kernel 2.6.16.12,
Speech-dispatcher 0.6 and speechd-up 0.3.  I should point out that I was
using this stuff a month or so ago with Dectalk speech and no problems
at that time.  I will now include the log from /var/log/speechd-up.log
- ----- Beginning of log -----
[Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Speechd-speakup starts!
[Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Error while openning the device in read/write mode 19,No such device
[Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Trying to open the device in the old way.
[Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Error while openning the device in read mode 19,No such device
[Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: ERROR! Unable to open soft synth device (/dev/softsynth)
- ----- End of log -----
Yes, if I do a ls -l on /dev/softsynth, I get the following:
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 10, 26 2006-05-17 00:18 softsynth
This is inside the /dev directory.

I get same errors whether I try using Dectalk, flite or now espeak.  In
fact, I manually tested espeak through the spd-say command and that part
does work.  So it is the soft synth problem that I can't figure out.
