Sorry if this sounds like a weird question, but what do you mean by, "2: I never try to use speakup and orca in the same session."? Do you mean that during a period when you're using orca, you never use speakup in a text terminal, and that when you're using speakup you do not use the gui? Thanks!

for what its worth, I use archLinux on all my systems, and I use orca
with gnome and gdm.
I have never had sound problems, and I use speakup as well.
I also have never disabled pulse.
I follow these simple rules:
1:  I use one user specifically for graphical use.
2:  I never try to use speakup and orca in the same session.
This seems to work for me and I just don't have problems with it.

I have gnome and gnome-extra on the system and removed mate and
mate-extra by now.  I have managed to login with gnome and proved it
by running gnome-terminal then using the backspace key a few times
until I heard repeated beeps each time I hit the key.  I ran
speaker-test inside gnome-terminal and heard static on speakers too.
Unfortunately, orca for archlinux is packaged incorrectly since when
started even under these conditions orca does not talk at all but only
shows its setup screen.
Also, orca.desktop file did not come in the orca package and that may
or may not contribute to the problems.  running orca, orca --replace,
and alt-super-s in turn failed to bring orca up talking.
