The "synthesizer" option is perhaps a bit of a misnomer these days, and 
changing it will make yasr not use speech-dispatcher. Yasr's way of 
communicating with synthesizers probably made more sense years ago when 
speech-dispatcher didn't exist and a lot of people used hardware 
synthesizers...

Anyway, yasr doesn't currently have code to allow changing the synthesizer 
used by speech-dispatcher. Its whole method of interfacing with 
speech-dispatcher should probably be rewritten, perhaps even dropping the 
non-speech-dispatcher code.
