It's a hard time for me due to business work cummulation in January.
Anyway the speechd problem is very interesting and a priority thing in
my hobby time. I did a deciding debugging session today.
Speech-dispatcher output is very limited when spd-say command is issued.
This probably needs an upstream change, but that's a thing for the future.
I guess the problem comes from pulse being the default audio output.
When I change the configuration from pulse to alsa, spd-say starts
working ok.
I can't confirm, why the source compiled from speechd upstream was
working better than the Debian package. Maybe because of different
configuration files. /etc vs /usr/local/etc. Maybe I did not run
ldconfig and the state of binaries was hard to determine.
I found the logs finally, using
strace -f spd-say test 2>&1|grep log

They seem to ask for another bug report. This one may be closed, no more
grave problems :)
