On my laptop, it all just worked without any additional configuration. I have
Speakup and Espeakup installed, as well as PulseAudio, which is configured (as
is the default) as the default audio output destination in Alsa.

I haven't seen any crashes or problems with this configuration. The sound card
is an on-board Intel audio device.
