I have checked with orca when this happens, and everything seems to be in place. i.e. speech-dispatcher still talks, speechd-up is still running, the speakup_soft module is still loaded). Speakup core is compiled into the kernel. It stops talking anywhere  from 2 minutes to... right now, version 0.4 has been working well for about 5 hours. I have had it working with and without orca and the gnome-terminal concurrently.

I have seen this happen occasionally, but only with a delay of a second
or so. It started after I went from rate 8 to rate 9, and only if my
system is fairly heavily loaded. This is of course on a 32-bit
system. A shot in the dark suggestion would be to play with the
niceness of speechd-up/speech-dispatcher, and see if it helps any. I
recall someone else posting on here a while back ago, claiming that
their 64-bit system was too fast for software speech, but I don't
remember what symptoms this report was based on. Sorry I can't be of
much more help.

Also, can you please remember to hit enter once in a while when
posting, or enabling line-wrap in whatever editor you use? As it is
now, your lines are quite long, which makes it more difficult to reply
in-line to your posts.
