speakup on the Raspberry Pi

[Jason Miller]

I've tried working with it, playing MP3s and WAV files and such, and I 
get a click in the console with it. It starts to click as if the audio 
driver is initializing, and then after the sounds as if is shutting 
itself down. I dunno, this is a common problem it seems with playing 
sound in the console.

I think the new Pi board, the model b with 512MB of RAM instead of the 
older 256 has fixed some of these issues. It's supposed to have 
different things soldered into the board along the sound hardware paths, 
with different capacitors and such. Don't know about that for sure though.

One of the issues I found building speakup modules into this thing is 
that the /modules/KERNEL/build folder hasn't existed on the older 
Raspbian images to be used, and until now, still has issues I think. 
Going to try starting over with the latest Raspbian images though and 
we'll see.
