	I _believe_ that no activation of speech stuff is done; thus you need
to ensure that you run the viavoice speech server  beforehand;
personally I've never use vv, only festival - which works fine when used
through gnome-speech [ but seemingly not directly from gnopernicus -
which is most odd ].

	The best thing to do is perhaps add debugging stuff to gnome-speech's [
or gnopernicus' ] sound intialization stuff. Sadly robustness wise - and
in terms of nice UI when things fail gnopernicus needs substantial work,

	HTH,

		Michael.
