Hiya,
I was able to, as it turns out, solve the ALSA situation myself.  The weird=
 thing which I still don't understand is that my headphones were registered=
 in Alsa as PCM, and there was an aditional headphone setting in the mixer =
which didn't seem to have any visible effect.  I lowered the volume on PCM,=
 and somehow the volume on the headphones lowered.  Very weird behavior if =
I do say so myself.
Now, the next problem I need to get out of the way is OSS emulation, as it =
seems that Eflite doesn't enjoy being used at the same time Speakup is cont=
rolling the card--I have Emacspeak, and like Flite for it when I can get it=
.
Anyhow, I'm just deeply puzzled as to why that PCM trick worked, and thankf=
ul for Greg's suggestion, even though it didn't fix things.
Thanks all,
Zack.
