getting orca and espeakup/speakup to work together

[John G Heim]

What is the trick to getting speakup with software speech and orca to 
work at the same time. I have both debian stretch and ubuntu bionic 
systems and on both machines, I have to disable espeakup to get orca to 
work. If I disable espeakup via the command, "systemctl disable 
espeakup" and reboot, orca works as normal. If I re-enable espeakup via, 
"systemctl enable espeakup", then I get no speech on the login screen or 
after I log in. After I log in, even playing sounds via aplay does not work.

I have a vague memory of having to recompile espeakup or something to 
get that to work.
