You can specify the type of autio output in the speechd.conf file.
You used to specify it in the module for the speech synth you're
using.  So if you were using the espeak module, you would specify it
in espeak.conf.  I thought this got moved to the top level conf file.
Check with latest version of Speech Dispatcher; I haven't gone there
yet myself.

Also, while checking out Speech Dispatcher, you might wanna do some
testing with the spd-say command.
