You need either to disable pulse audio in /etc or remove it and it's alsa plugin. This is mentioned on the Speakup Modified home page. Pulse audio doesn't launch, as Fedora configures it, until a gui user logs in. This is ridiculous, and we need to: 1.) File a few bugs against Fedora on this. After all, this clashes with gdm a11y. 2.) Expand the use cases on the pulse audio home page. Pulse audio could become a very useful meta audio environment for us. But, the vision of those who have so far been involved is, ahem, rather poor?
