Well, this is really the same way emacspeak itself uses eflite at the
moment. eflite is specifically written to work with the dectalk driver
of emacspeak as far as I can tell. It will ignore any voice commands
it does not support. There is only one voice in eflite anyway. In that
sense, you could say that eflite itself is a bit of a hack, but it
does its jub. If flite should ever support more than one voice, you
can still give it its own module. Things flite does support like
speech rate and pitch work with the dectalk driver.
