Actually, last time I took a very serious look at this, I made a "fake"
software synth for Speakup. All it did was read the softsynth device
and dump data to a file. Testing Speakup this way is kind of hard
because you don't have speech while you're driving your computer ... but
it would be perfect for a sighted person who doesn't use a screen
reader. If I recall correctly, I was seeing garbling in the dumped
output too. Sometimes it takes a while for this bug to manifest; it is
a tricky one.
