I have updated the speakup-decext repo [1] to latest, including bns
migration and support for more than ttyS*. Please do test with 'dev'
module param.

One thing I noticed in my testing is that when loading with incorrect
'dev' value several times in a row, it eventually succeeds in loading.
That seems like an existing issue with synths[] array which caches
already loaded synths. I am investigating it now.
