We stopped probing because it was causing issues with some synthesizers
and other hardware as I remember, so I don't see us re-implementing
probing.

I might be able to set it to none if we time out, but the current design
would mean that it would also be set to none if you hit print screen to
turn off speakup, so I don't know if you want that either.

What do you think?
