I have ESpeek installed by default because I am using ubuntu fiesty
which comes with orca.
so I grabbed the source of just portaudio19 and did a configure make
and make install as usual.
so is it necessary to get ESpeek again and compile it even if I have
it by default in ubuntu?

I did not understand this setup method of using sd and ESpeek
Kindly explain the above choice.  I thought speech dispatcher is a
different way of speech out put and has nothing to do with ESpeek.  so
how will speech dispatcher and espeek work together?
are their any other choices without speech dispatcher?
and can I get the speech dispatcher through apt-get install or do I
need to build it through source as well?
please explain me both the ways, with or without speech dispatcher.  I
have heard that the speech dispatcher is still at beta as far as orca
is concerned.
so one major question I have is that is speech dispatcher a necessary
requirement for getting all advantages including listening to music
while orca is running?  I herd on the recent threads that it is the
portaudio19 that makes this happen, so I believed that speech
dispatcher is not needed.
further more, we all know that orca is a bit stuttery and choppy in
speech, I get the feeling that it was solved in some cases after
switching over to port audio 19.
if that is true then I just want orca to send its speech output to
portaudio19 with my existing ESpeek and gnome-speech setup.
so will that be possible and how?
