Obviously not. You need to do:
speakupconf load
after changing something in /etc/speakup/synth_name, in order for it
to take effect.

It still does. If you didn't get an error, then your value must have
been correct. Whether you actually see the effects of the new value is
a different matter, but I just checked to be sure, and you are still
told what the valid range for a parameter is if you've put in the
wrong value.

There isn't a help system for the speakup parameters as far as I know
specifically, but there is the general speakup help system which you
can access with speakup_key+f1.

Why should there be? I wasn't aware of anyone having written man pages
for speakup.
