[orca-list] Is there a way to stop orca using emacspeak speech servers

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
The subject says it all really, is there a way I can tell orca to not 
use emacspeak speech servers at all?

Let me explain the problem in a bit more detail. I have orca configured 
to use gnome-speech but I have emacspeak install to use in a text 
console. Whenever I open the orca preferences, I seem to get something 
being sent over the serial port (I think it is something intended for a 
dectalk). The problem is that I have an apollo speech synthesiser I use 
with speakup. Now when this stuff is sent over the serial port when I 
open the orca preferences it stops my speakup working until I unload and 
reload the speakup modules. So I need some way to stop orca getting 
emacspeak speech server sending this data.

I personally think orca shouldn't get the emacspeak speech servers to do 
anything until it is selected in the speech tab.

Possibly a quicker fix, is there a way I can tell orca simply "I will 
never use emacspeak speech server"?
