You may want to look at Speech Dispatcher
(http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd). It combines queueing and talking
into a single step too, but provides much better queueing mechanism than
gnome-speech. Unless you have very special requirements, I can't see
any reason to separate queueing and talking.

In Speech Dispatcher, you just use the PAUSE and RESUME commands.
Speech Dispatcher manages the audio output itself when using a civilized
speech synthesizer (e.g. Festival), so this is no problem.
