Just as a point of interest, if I run Orca on my laptop and then switch to a
virtual terminal, I can use Speakup with ESpeakup, with PulseAudio running.
Debian is configured to route everything through PulseAudio, including the
default ALSA device, if I remember correctly. The sound card is an on-board
Intel audio controller, fairly standard laptop hardware.

Of course, braille support with BRLTTY works everywhere and can seamlessly
switch between Orca and the console.
