Gena,
I don't like to be the bearer or bad news, but ViaVoice doesn't work on
many systems especially when using alsa.  Before spending time debugging
your problem it would be a good idea to find someone with the same
soundcard who is successfully using viavoice.  For example, if you have an
SBLive card, viavoice works with the emu10k1 driver distributed with the
kernel but does not work with alsa.  

If you're looking for software speech, you'd be safer with festival, flite
or the software dectalk from fonix.com.

Chris
