Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher 0.6.6 is a huge improvement!

Thanks, Lorenzo. I liked hearing about your setup, because I believe it
important to support the kind of flexibility your setup demonstrates.
This is the promise of pulseaudio, I believe.

Those of us using Fedora need to hammer them off their current
implementation which doesn't launch audio until after a gdm login.
Rather, it should be an /etc/init.d type Fedora service, imho.
