speakup, audio solutions

Pulseaudio doesn't work for me because I rely on Speakup pretty
thoroughly. I have several issues with it including very choppy speech
and stupid behavior over audio stopping play when I move out of the tty
where I invoked the audio.

I am about to go file an RFE with pulse to ask for an easy way to
configure pulse to leave any particular audio device alone. I know one
can terminate pulse on a per app basis, but that's too cumbersome, imo.
And, I think there should be something easier than writing a custom udev
rule to accomplish excluding some particular audio device from pulse.
