I would like to make some observations concerning the loading and unloading of Speakup when compiled as modules. Loading works great and I really can't say much more about that. For unloading, I did notice that the machine will still lock up when unloading from a console unless I explecitly echo "none" to /proc/speakup/synth_name *FIRST. When I echo "none" first, it seems to unload every time without incident. Now here's the wierd part. If I unload and reload speakup say 3 times or more, I lose speech but the modules still appear to load. To demonstrate this, take a listing of currently inserted modules with 'lsmod' each time before and after reloading speakup. When it is working correctly, the synthesiser module along with speakupmain seem to be in a normal state. After I reload speakup one too many times:), I have no speech but a subsequent 'lsmod' shows that the speakup synthesizer module is load but it also says "initializing". After that, I can't seem to get speech back without rebooting the system. I used the script / typescript facility to capture my findings. I can recreate those if one needs them.
