I've generally had pretty good luck using Cepstral Callie on my Debian
box which uses ALSA.  When I have lost speech, I didn't think it was
Cepstral related.  I also can't remember which version my Cepstral
stuff is either.  I've had them around for over a year now but only
messed with gnome since January of this year.
