Any more details on this would be greatly appreciated.  Part of it might
have already been solved, since the backend now supports speech progress
notifications.  Anyway, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  Could
you please give an example for each problem?  Thank you very much for
your answer.

This will change soon, since the Speech Dispatcher backend will be
included in Orca (in a few weeks).

Best regards, Tomas.
