As a side note, I just ran the 64bit installer from Chris's site and pretty much followed the instructions to the T and in installs beautifully. My only observation is that the audio was rather low. I could barely hear the speech output. Fortunately, I could alsamixer to turn the volume way up so I could hear better. That was for headphone usage. The speaker was turned way down. So if I didn't have any headphones plugged in, I would have concluded that speech wasn't working. Might wanna turn up the volume a bit and some moe gain to the speaker for the next time something is released.
