Re: [orca-list] slightly off topic: orca, espeakup and ubuntu 19.10

I prefer speechd-up because it makes speakup work with
speech-dispatcher.  I don't like pulse audio, I have it because
firefox requires it, but I use alsa for everything else, including
that I changed the speech dispatcher output to alsa, and things seem
to work on my gentoo system quite nicely.
