latest version of TalkingArch

[Jude DaShiell]

The  archlinux dvd comes up talking.  But the instruction to copy 
/etc/asound.state /mnt/etc puts the file there but I had to use 
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state myself to do this.  Everything was going good 
until I typed alsactl store.  Then I get told about 
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state.lock file.  I took the first system to reboot 
level having finished everything else up and when it came up, I had no 
speech.
