AFAIK the standard version of speak-freely is compiled with the "DUPLEX" option, so it works only with the fully duplex capable hardware<->driver. AFAIK most of the drivers available in OSS-Free included into Linux system do not support the full duplex. Get the source version of speek-freely package, set the DUPLEX= -HALF_DUPLEX in the Makefile, and rebuild the package.
