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.
