This is a not a good solution, it showed to be very confusing for the 
users in case of both
Festival before and now Speech Dispatcher.  A side effect of permitting 
Speech Dispatcher
in /etc/defaults/ will still be that the rest of the audio is destroyed 
if the user is using
Pulse Audio. This is even worse, I believe, because now Speech 
Dispatcher doesn't start
by default and we still have the original problem.

Can't we at least change the configuration of the output modules from 
"alsa" to "pulse"
and start a Pulse Audio daemon under the speech-dispatcher user from 
/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher?
While far from optimal given the current state of Pulse Audio itself, 
the bindings in Speech Dispatcher etc.,
at least it doesn't have any serious side effects and it could be 
started by default.
