It isn't necessary to use systemwide Pulse audio anymore.  I use console speech on my Ubuntu box at 
home which has Pulse Audio  installed and configured in the recommended way (not systemwide) and I am 
able to use Speakup just fine.  The trick is to start it from a Gnome Terminal within X:

sudo modprobe speakupg_soft start=1
sudo espeakup

Just my thoughts,

Subject: [orca-list] pulse audio speakup and orca

Hi,

I am coming a long way on the new directions for making a newer version of debian Vinux butt want to 
maybe get some suggestions I recompiled espeak to use  pulse audio I will paste the instructions that I 
have required from john and a few others from mailing lists.

Edit the Makefile and find the section which reads like this:

# 'runtime' uses pulseaudio if it is running, else uses portaudio 
#AUDIO = runtime AUDIO = portaudio #AUDIO = portaudio0 #AUDIO = 
portaudio2 #AUDIO = pulseaudio #AUDIO = sada

And simply change it to read thusly:

# 'runtime' uses pulseaudio if it is running, else uses portaudio 
#AUDIO = runtime #AUDIO = portaudio #AUDIO = portaudio0 #AUDIO = 
portaudio2 AUDIO = pulseaudio #AUDIO = sada

As you can see I just commented out portaudio and uncommented 
pulseaudio.

cd ../../
apt-get install espeakup
cd espeakup-0.71/
make
make install

modprobe speakup-soft
espeakup

Now I wonder If I should go threw this next part and try as I am building it as a rolling release using 
sid and apt-get -u to hold back broken packages

Here is the part in question mind you I am using software speech and not hardware speech.

In Debian Jessie/Sid, you will need to edit /etc/default/pulseaudio to have this line:

PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1

And in /etc/pulse/client.conf:

autospawn = no

It's been a while since I configured speech for orca, but I think I had to modify 
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf to use a unix socket:

SocketPath "/var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.sock"

And in my .bash_profile, I added:

export
SPEECHD_ADDRESS="unix_socket:/var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.so
ck"

I use hardware speech with speakup on the machine running orca and I don't run orca on the machine 
using espeakup, so I can't say that it will work for both orca and speakup with espeakup. Please follow 
up if I missed something.

Here is a link to the bug report.
