Thanks for the additional suggestions. Actually, I did the "Major hack" as a tempererary measure while I figure things out. Yes, the progocol logging test reveals that speechd-up is setting the voice explicitly to to "MALE1" so there's my answer:). I think speechd-up is small enough that I can get in there and possibly add another command line option that would allow users to specify on the fly and if left blank, use whatever speech-dispatcher is defaulting to. This should be easy enough a fix. I'll have to figure out how to change the default in speechd-el and perhaps modify that one too to not hard code any default. Like you say, let speech-dispatcher do the defaulting. Thanks again for the tips and direction.
