But I think I will try to run speech dispatcher exclusively through ALSA and run it as a central system-wide service like before and let pulse do its thing when I run X. Fortunately, my sound card (SB Live) does support multiple channels. As a surprise, my HP laptop also supported multiple channels too (Realtech something or other) so pulse would be less valuable to me except for more flexible volume controls in gnome. Also, I think it would be a bit of a chore to completely remove pulse from my system now but I can avoid using it in the console though.
