Hello,

Mmm, that's an expected issue.  We have not implemented anything about
that.

Or just setting an ALSA_CARD environment variable.

The question is rather: how to let the user request that?  I don't think
adding another boot menu item would be nice.  Adding a shortcut after
boot is not really straightforward, and the user would still have to
know that there are several sound cards and that the shortcut should
be used to switch between cards. Making espeakup always talk on each
and every device is not really an option either. Maybe we could make
the installer, when several cards are detected, talk "To use this sound
card, press 0" on card 0, then talk "To use this sound card, press 1" on
card 1, etc., what do people think?
