Speech-Dispatcher and SMP question

[Keith Hinton]

How well does Speech-Dispatcher currently work on SMP systems, using the 
native ESpeak module v.s a Generic module?
I know an advantage of the native module is that ESpeak won't have to be 
called and that "wav" files won't be generated for each key-press.
Just curious how Diispatcher andnative module work on SMP.
I think if anyone uses the generic one, though, that you'll still be bale to 
make dispatcher crash.
I was able to do that with the Generic dectalk module.
I was not able to do so with the Flite module however, sinse that was 
native.
But FLite is too slow to respond to keyboared stuff for me. ESPeak should be 
much better.
Another question: does the native module allow multiple sounds to go through 
the soundcard?
