Hi, Shaun.
Remember that whatever is developed for gnome-speech for synth drivers needs
to be multiplatform.  Gnopernicus is currently working on Solaris, Linux,
and even FreeBSD and a driver should in most cases be extended to all of
them.
I don't know about speech-dispatcher, but is it cross platform?
