PulseAudio is effectively a sound server which sits between the 
application and the audio support in the kernel (ALSA/OSS):

http://pulseaudio.org/

So, if you're using it with speech-dispatcher, then you're using it with 
gnome-speech.  As Hermann writes, the Ubuntu folks seem to have 
integrated it into Hardy.  If that's the case (it seems to be), you 
should be getting PulseAudio support for everything.  As a result, the 
issues with gnome-speech talking to speech engines that use OSS or ALSA 
should be handled by PulseAudio.
