Espeakup and Speech-Dispatcher-git--Fighting again?

[Janina Sajka]

I tend to update globally about once a week, usually on Fridays. With
today's update of Speech-Dispatcher-git Espeakup is broken.

1.)	I boot to a console login. Works as expected. Speakup speaks
with Espeak on hw:0. Yes, I'm using alsa, not pulse.

2.)	I launch the graphical desktop with startx and Orca comes up
over Speech-Dispatcher using libao on hw:1 as specified in speechd.conf.

3.)	Switching back to any console, speech is gone. Doing a systemctl
restart espeakup puts speech on hw:2.

This is bonkers.

PS: Isn't it time we could control what device the soft synth driver
speaks to with a configuration option? Perhaps an additional parameter
in /etc/conf.d/espeakup?

Or is it supposed to be in /etc/speakup/espeakup?

Both those configs say basically the same thing, but they're not
symlinked. Why?
