Of course I don't, I was just making it clear what I did and didn't do.
I have encounterd persons before who think speakup should run in a gnome terminal or other graphical terminal.

Does Speakup even work in a Gnome Terminal session? I wouldn't have even
thought to try such a thing. And, if that's the case you most certainly
shouldn't expect to have Orca and Speaup both sharing a single
speech-dispatcher process. I don't believe anyone built those to work
that way. Wierd.

Yes, I mean that I never attempt to run speakup in a gnome terminal session
and I  have separate users for text and graphical use.

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.
