Chris,
The symptoms sound suspiciously like the behavior of my own system when
I was mistakenly using the ltlk synthesizer without first killing
espeakup, so that speakup was somehow directing output to both the soft
synth and the serial point, alternating between, and generally driving
us both nuts, do you recall?
The immediate fix was simply to pkill espeakup. The longterm fix was
to properly switch between synths, e.g., using talkwith, or doing the
same thing manually.
If that's his problem, it has nothing to do with debian at all.
Chuck
