Hi Lorenzo, the prefered method to change voice in Orca with SD is
through Orca preferences.  I believe Gutsy should include the versions
of SD and Orca which support it.  Let me know if it does not work.

As Lukas wrote, there probably is a problem with setting the espeak
default voice, but this should not be a problem for Orca users, since
Orca sets voices directly by name.

Best regards, Tomas
