Actually, Scott, I went off on the case for how Gnopernicus is without multiple sound sources and missed answering your question! <grin> Sorry. At this time there is no hardware speech support for Gnopernicus. I think there should be. It's also possible that we should work on finding ways to give ESD and Gnome-Speech one sound device, while keeping a second device for access with apps like Jack, Beast, and all those other tantalizing music apps out there. Eventually, this kind of configuration will be essential anyway for doing music. You wouldn't want DEC Talk to star in your magnum opus--unless, of course, you wanted DEC Talk in that opus.
