That combo allows selecting the voice, not the voice variant, they are
two separate things. I suppose this is another reason why
speech-dispatcher can be preferable to gnome-speech espeak driver. If
gnome-speech is to correct this, either it will need to support voice
variants in some way, or just specify the variants on each voice and
make one large list of voices.
