Not sure I'll answer all of your questions, but I would say to start the synth in the kernel you should echo the correct name to /sys/speakup/modules/parameters/synth_name or whatever the correct new path is. There are many ways of starting modules automaticly on startup. Distributions usually have a /etc/modules.conf or modprobe.conf file where it can be done. What I use specificly for speech is the rc.local file. Just put your modprobe in their.
