No, unfortunately not. Speakup talks to the UARTs on serial ports 
directly, bypassing the kernel serial and tty subsystem.

And it is this fact that I fear may be a problem with the PCI card. I 
don't think it will work with speakup at all.

If you have other serial ports, what I'd do is move one device off one 
of those onto the PCI serial card, and put the synth on one of the 
serial ports on the main motherboard. I say this because a PCI serial 
card is very likely not to have been assigned standard I/O and IRQ 
settings of a normal serial port.
