You're right, pulse sucks, but here it is working since months with 
speech-dispatcher, orca and in parallel with a console screen reader 
(openblinux.de) without problems. You have to make sure, that pulse is 
running as root user, which is not wanted and a bad hack, but then 
everything is fine.

Ciao,
