espeakup problems in Ubuntu 9.10

[Garry Turkington]

Hi all,

I just tried a native install of Ubuntu desktop 9.10 to set up Speakup
and am having espeakup throw the following errors:

garry at fool:~$ espeak
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)

Anyone seen its like or know any likely causes?  Not getting anything
on the Google.

Thanks,
Garry
