No speculation is needed here. It would take a butt load of work that is
already in progress to finnish up. For that to happen quickly many more
hours of volunteer work need to be done. If it was to happen really
quickly, those hours would need to come from another person.

There is work beign done on a software synth in linux. Also, speakup would
need a major change that may happen some year down the road (unless that
magical volunteer surfaces and chooses to do that work).
