speakup.synth=soft is a kernel command-line parameter to enable the
'Userspace software synthesizer', this mean that they have it compiled
as module. This will create a device node (/dev/softsynth) for
software like espeak.
What we need to know now if the other modules for Speakup has been
compiled as module, check the config file, or if you are in a Debian
system, type:
zgrep -i speakup /proc/config.gz
I opened the initrd provided in the debian iso, and all the synthesizer
parts of Speakup are compiled as modules. I checked also the
modules.builtin file in /lib/modules to see if something is compiled
inside the kernel directly and no, all modules are built outside the
kernel and loaded dynamically.
Hope this helps.
