espeakup and archlinux with gnome

[Alonzo cuellar]

doing pacman -Q pulseaudio does yield results
I can't remove it though since it is required by pulseaudio-alsa and
gnome-settings-daemon.
Pressing control-alt-f3 does the same... espeakup does not talk.
So I'm not sure how to fix this. My bbrother uwses gnome since he needs a
magnifier.
