Hi,
How do I switch from gnome speedch to alsa.  I've tried speech dispatcher 
and it seems to crash a lot.

gnome-speech leaves output to the synthesizer, so whatever interface the
synthesizer chooses will be used.  Espeak will use ALSA when linked
against Portaudio 19 or OSS when linked against Portaudio 18 as it is in
Ubuntu.

Speech-dispatcher, on the other hand, collects samples from the
synthesizer and plays them itself, so it chooses the interface.
