And, if someone would step up and add support for /dev/synth to Orca, it
could natively support Speakup's drivers. Unfortunately,only having
emacspeak based drivers leaves out the vast majority of current Linux
console users. Not that there's anything wrong with emacspeak or
supporting its drivers, it's just that most console users are elsewhere.
