Spd.conf ruined my speech. Please help.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I predict this will be found not to be a fenrir problem at all but a 
pulseaudio problem.  The reason for that is I have some pulseaudio 
support for vlc installed on my system and had removed 
speech-dispatcher-git and fenrir-git from my system since speech was 
being slowed down here too.  Whenever I use vlc to play an mp4 or webm 
file on this computer, afterwards the speech slows down and sounds like 
darth vader until I reboot the system.  I could wipe out pulseaudio 
configuration and try playing another mp4 file to see if the same 
degradation happens too and probably will in a few minutes since now 
this has got me curious.  I expect an outside possibility exists fenrir 
wrote some wrong stuff with pulseaudio-config and this should be a way 
to find that out.
