The problem is Gnome-Speech. It does not work with Alsa. All the players 
(Totem, Rhythmbox etc.) use Alsa.
Furthermore I can confirm the difficaulties in using the features in 
Rhythmbox - I think Bob wrote about it.
So my conclusion is to use a text based Linux, because it is miles ahead 
concerning stability, usability etc.
For work, I cannot do on a text console, I use sometimes Ubuntu, but 
mostly Windows. And I guess this situation will last for a while :-(
