Is there a good install for the Raspberry Pi for SpeakUp and maybe Orca?
I just got my Raspberry Pi today.

Peter, I now have speakup working on the raspberry Pi.
If anyone wants the modules speakup.ko and speakup_soft.ko I will post 
them on my web server so anyone can download them.
They are for the 3.2.27+ kernel used currently on rasbian.
The only thing I would like to know is what did you do with alsactl to 
stop or reduce the clicking?
I cannot seem to get it to stop.
Any information would be appreciated.
