Speech-dispatcher now working, sort of

Yeah, this is an issue with either the alsa libs or utils, don't
remember which, 1.0.6. I described this a while back on this list, and
was advised by Chuck Hallenbeck to downgrade to 1.0.15. A while after
that, chuck posted that the newest debian alsa packages fixed this on
his system after the latest upgrade, and I found that to be true
myself after I upgraded. I'd suggest getting the very latest version
of alsa libs/utils/drivers, and I think you'll find the problem will
go away.
