getting orca and espeakup/speakup to work together

[Janina Sajka]

Man, those have become as rare as hen's teeth. And they're not about to
make a resurgence.

Furthermore, they tend to be buried in amongst all kinds of other
hardware. Is that really how you would want to orient your speaking monitor?
Deep in the bowels of some computer case?

I know I want to go exactly the opposite way. I've my audio out running
through a desktop Mackie mixer and usually talking through some quality
desktop speakers. If I need, I can route to some serious JBL IONs. I'm
contemplating adding Google Cast to my options.
