Hi everybody,

The change that Michael noticed is due to the fact that we modified 
parameters from driver specific to procents. So the old value that Michael 
had in gconf is now interpreted as procent, transformed in driver specific 
units and sent to gnome-speech. 
(val_4_gs = min + (max-min) *procent/100
So the user sets procent and gnopernicus send val_4_gs to gnome-speech )

The other question that Michel raised is about the way speech parameters are 
set now in gnopernicus. There are 2 aproaches for that:
1. For all voices (aka speakers)
------------------------------------
In gnopernicus you can change values for rate, pitch and volume from layer 8 
(Note : you have to have NumLock ON, after that , from the keypad layer type 
08-> you are supposed to hear "changed to layer eight". Being on layer 8 you 
will have to press 4, for decreasing the rate. Press 4 until you have a rate 
that fits you)

All speech related commands are:

L08K01 (layer 8, key 1)- decrease volume
L08K02 (layer 8, key 2)- default volume
L08K03 (layer 8, key 3)- increase volume
L08K04 (layer 8, key 4)- decrease rate
L08K05 (layer 8, key 5)- default rate
L08K06 (layer 8, key 6)- increase rate
L08K07 (layer 8, key 7)- decrease pitch
L08K08 (layer 8, key 8)- default pitch
L08K09 (layer 8, key 9)- increase pitch
L08K10 (layer 8, key DEL)- default settings (rate 70%, pitch 80%, volume 80%; 
I set them like this because it sounds OK on my machine)

The above commands will change parameters (in procents- ex 50% 
rate ) for all voices that you use in gnopernicus.

2. For a particular voice (as we support multiple voices)
