Can I join the dev team for a while?

[Bill Cox]

Yep, I'm aware.  I rewrote speech-dispatcher's pulseaudio driver based
on Luke's libao driver and code from the ao library.  I suspect it
will become the default speech-dispatcher driver in Lucid.  I'm going
to build a Vinux release based on Lucid using pulseaudio and
speech-dispatcher.  That's why I'm interested in getting speechd-up
working well.

I'll also need to get speakup working well for the CLI version of
Vinux, where speakup will be the primary interface.  The trick here is
supporting guys who want to call startx to do some Gome stuff now and
then.  What I need is speakup working before gnome starts, and while
Gnome is running, playing nicely with speechup-d the whole time.

Regards,
Bill
