Debian/squeeze 2.6.29.1 kernel. It sounds like the full_time setting might be too high for this synthesizer. type the following command to get the value: echo /sys/module/speakup/parameters/full_time The value is in milliseconds, so, for example, 40000 is 40 seconds. Once you know this value, decrease it until the pauses go away. You can change it by doing something like this as root: echo 30000 > /sys/module/speakup/parameters/full_time If this value goes too low, you will find that speakup times out and deactivates. If that happens, you should be able to use print screen to turn it back on, then increase the value in full_time. Let me know the value that works for you and I'll set it as the default.
