Yeah, thanks for the reminder.  I jumped on this so quickly I hadn't seen your 
message; I basically forgot to add myself to the audio group.  It had been long

Also, I'm pleased to hear that I can play sounds simultaneously while speakup
is running without device contentions.  I didn't think that would be possible 
with these laptops.
