Very very good idea. 
Unfortunately, gnome-speech was not very stable, sometimes speech 
randomly stops. 
And it's true that it will optimize the speech chain. orca -> gnome 
speech -> speech-dispatcher -> synthesis was quite long :) And so, it 
must be nearly impossible to debug it. 

So thanks very much Tomas for this work !
