Apollo stops talking from time to time

[Michael Whapples]

Getting another synth is out of the question unless someone is willing 
to donate one to me.

This bug hadn't previously shown itself in speakup with my apollo until 
recently (I am not quite sure when but it is somewhere since the 
beginning of 2009 when I switched to GRML).
