The sound system isn't perfect. When I used paplay to play an .oga file
I got xcb_connection_has_error() returned true.

Curiosity for the most part. I wouldn't do auto-login on a machine.
For the most part that's probably the best approach. However, there are
exceptions, and the current discussion illustrates one such.
We're being asked to help someone get their Orca plus speech-dispatcher
setup working. As with any debugging situation, if the problem isn't
immediately obvious, a good approach is to simplify the environment in
order to isolate the issue.
So, in the current instance, launching startx from a standard text
console would quickly show whether there are issues specifically with
the Orca setup, or not. The only caveat here is any required unique startx
tweak, probably an .xinitrc with:
exec gnome-session
Yes, it's possibly the case that one could just as easily login on the
text console, but that can require some configuration, too, e.g.
possibly the beep on backspace hasn't been configured. That wouldn't be
an issue with Speakup, or some other console level screen reader, of
course. And, one could always test the console environment with with a
beep command like:
echo Ctrl+g
Now, if the situation is such that multiple individuals use the
computer, some solution involving gdm is clearly desirable. But, if
there's only one person using the computer, I strongly question the
value of gdm, though login to the computer is probably still advisable.
But, if this individual, the only one using the computer, also lives
alone and rarely entertains untrusted individuals, even an auto login
could be reasonable.
Just my thoughts here.

OK, let me try to be a bit more specific.
Why do you think you need a graphical login manager? What, exactly is it
doing for you?
I ask this question because the easiest way to avoid the problems
handing off speech from the dm to the gnome session with orca is to not
use a dm at all. Options include autologin on the console, or standard
console login, followed by startx which can reliably start Orca and
speech-dispatcher.

because I tried lightdm first and that didn't work either.

Why do you need gdm?
Linux for blind general discussion writes:
It builds but doesn't run. Seems to be missing libdotconf.so.0 and the
libdotconf library doesn't appear to be in the archlinux repositories. I
uncommented lines in speechdispatcher-git PKGBUILD file to enable
speechdispatcher to run as a system-wide process and this may be necessary
for speech to work in graphical user interface on archlinux but I could be
wrong about that. If all of this doesn't work, I know what commands to use
to turn off gdm or lightdm with my archlinux system disk.
