6. If things spoke at one time, but are no longer working, try doing a 'ps -fax | grep synthesis-driver' or 
'ps -elf | grep synthesis-driver'. Kill the
associated process and try 'test-speech' again. If speech works again, then a driver got hung.
:-(

I can't find the process. I search with ps aux/elf/fax and grep to
Synthesis, synthesis, driver, etc. Only festival can be found.

7. Do any speech services show up with the gnome-speech 'test-speech' utility?

Yes.

B. If there are files, then try running one of the drivers by hand from a terminal window. You'll know the 
location and name of the driver by looking for
the type="exe" line in the relevant /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Speech_
SynthesisDriver
_* file.

Who can I run the driver by hand? I try:

# cd /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
# ./GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server

But "command not found".

But a:

# cat ./GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server

show the content of the file.

i. Make sure you kill all running synthesis-drivers before running the driver by hand.
ii. See if there are any errors when you run the driver by hand in a terminal window. If there are no errors, 
then run test-speech from another terminal
window. See if you can make test-speech talk. If you can, the problem may be that Bonobo is not starting the 
driver for some odd reason. If you still cannot
make test-speech talk, it's probably time to jot down any errors you might be seeing and
ask us for help.

OK, I ask for help.

I remember, when I start orca, I hear a voice "welcome to orca", than
the voice and orca crashing.

I Found a thread in the www:

http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-gnome-speech-tf849200.html#a2201501

I also have an amd64 with the debian amd64 etch. It this the reason?
What can I do for this?

Thanks and
