Trouble with speech dispatcher.

I'll probably leave the echo command in there because I use this same
script to switch back to my speakout which is statically linked so AFAIK
the echo would have to be used to switch back to Speakout.  This load
step is done only if sftsyn.  I guess if everything were modulized, then
maybe I could switch to modprobing only.  Though I thought originally
that echoing the synth name was supposed to modprobe the module for you.
