nvda2speechd, let Windows programs talk through Speech dispatcher

[Linux for blind general discussion]

That does, in fact, work fine yes. I've been poking and prodding at 
various games/apps with no luck however, unsure how the 
nvdaControllerClient32 or 64.dll interacts with the server or installed 
programs though.

I've been trying a variety of audiogames that ship with NVDA support to 
no luck, however I did just find out that no, I do not need (at least 
for testclient) an installed SAPI setup though, obviously actual 
games/programs may be different, however


So in short, testclient works, but nothing past that?
