Can I join the dev team for a while?

I take it that Lucid uses a 2.6.32 kernel?
This is fixed in git.  I posted about it three weeks ago.

I don't know much about pulseaudio, but I do know that eSpeak has a
pulseaudio backend.  You'll need to compile eSpeak with pulseaudio support,
rather than portaudio.  Next, rebuild Espeakup.
I'm blissfully ignorant of pulseaudio.  I've never tried
this strategy, but in theory, it will work.
