speech-dispatcher 1.87

[Linux for blind general discussion]

OK, perhaps I'm not tracking shifting nomenclature. To my mind speechd
isn't clear. But, regardless ...

Are you confident that the audio environment is working properly. Can
you play audio, e.g:

Open a command prompt and issue a command like:

paplay [some-file].wav

This should work from a text console or the graphical terminal, assuming
speech-dispatcher hasn't been launched yet. Heck, it should work with
speech-dispatcher launched, but there are situations where that isn't
the case. Thus my advice to test without speech-dispatcher.
