I understand that, but what I'm not certain of is how orca would know  
to use speech-dispatcher instead of festival. Both drivers show up  
when test-speech is run. Does orca have facilities for selecting  
among multiple speech drivers from orca-setup?

I see that there is Festival info in my user-settings.py. Is this  
being grabbed directly from gnome-speech and, if so, does it indicate  
an incorrect gnome-speech setup on my system? The correct  
libgnomespeech is showing up in 'ldconfig -p', and I added the path  
to the speech servers to my bonobo-activation config. Is there  
something else that I might be missing?

Thanks.
