problem with speechd-up and Pico

[Manuel Cortéz]

Hello all,

I'm running speakup with speechd-up in Debian Stable. Speech Dispatcher 
is configured to use pulseaudio, pulse starts in system mode and 
everything seems to be OK if you're going to use espeak. However if I 
want to use another voice, for example Pico (pico-generic.conf in spd's 
modules), it doesn't work. I have mate installed and if I use spd-say 
from the normal user it works and I can see pico in the output modules, 
but I can't get it to work in speechd-up. I have changed everything as 
needed in the root directory (I had to configure spd for root and allow 
pulse to give access to this user in order to get speechd-up to work, 
maybe I did something wrong here?), but it seems it doesn't matter what 
I change, it just doesn't work.

If I change the default-language in spd (in the root user's settings) it 
works, but nothing about modules.

Does someone know how to make speechd-up to work with other synths?

Thanks in advance.
