The most not usable part of gnome-speech is that it can only use the
output which comes with the synth.
Unfortunately there are not many soundcards available which are
multichannel capable.
Many laptops and onboard soundcards 
can't be used with orca+gnome-speech+other_sounds.
This is the main problem nothing else!!!!!!!!!
