How to stop SpeakUp saying 'Capital'

[Mike Ray]

Hello Trevor.

If you're using pulse then my changes won't be relevant to you because 
the changes are applied to wave.cpp which is used for portaudio.

I now have speech-dispatcher and speechd-up running with espeak compiled 
for portaudio and sd configured for alsa.

I have also installed Orca on the default Raspbian with these changes 
applied but so far whenever I try to run Orca the card flakes out.  
Beginning to think it's just a step too far for the Pi.  Might work with 
a lighter desktop than lxde.

I can send you the script that applies the changes if you want.

Have you tried trapping the kernel errors with a serial console? On the 
Pi it is caused by the VCHIQ baulking at a null pointer caused by 
latency set too fast.
