Especially check the "perfect setup" link on that page. My first reading 
shows, that it looks a bit complicated to set up, so I doubt that a user 
with little knowledge in setting up sound devices - like me - should try to 
install and configure it.

Speech-dispatcher is not installed on Hardy, but in the mentioned wiki they 
describe how to set up OSS apps.
As I've understood the explanations Pulseaudio gets between the apps and 
the hardware, handling all sound events.
