Installing orca and making it play nice with Speakup

[Marcel Oats]

Hi Janina, that actually makes sense to me, but lets suppose we're in the 
situation that I am in, where I have been playing with Debian Wheezy amd64 
version, and wish to have both environments available.  Speakup is working 
fine so far, but even with a USB soundcard also connected, when gnome 
starts, I am unable to even start Orca ( for some reason) so how can I tell 
it to use a different soundcard? I may be confused here a bit. Also, I am 
waiting until someone is nearby so as we can see if there is an error 
onscreen.

Sorry if it seems a little rambly.
Marcel
