ubuntu 11.10 speakup and orca don't work together

[Justin Harford]

Howdy 

I installed ubuntu 11.10 on my acer aspire one, and set up speakup. Now the problem is that I cannot have speakup and orca running at the same time. it's either one or the other, I think depending on the order that I log in. If I log into unity first, orca works and speakup doesn't, and if I log on to the console first, then speakup speaks and orca doesn't.

I'm pretty sure that this is because I have not set pulseaudio to run systemwide. What do you all think? I've been searching the internet for the last several hours for instructions on how to make pulseaudio run in systemwide mode in ubuntu 11.10, and have essentially turned up nothing. It looks like they really don't want you to figure this out. Has anyone found a solution for this problem? 

Thanks much.
