Speakupconf

Hi,

I have a rather dumb question.  Why is speakupconf necessary?  If the 
point is to make saving and loading of settings easier, why not just use 
/etc/rc.local?  It should always run at boot and requires no extra files 
or directories.  You have to run it as root but my understanding is that 
only root can modify Speakup parameters anyway.  For example, I always 
set my rate and volume this way.  I add a beep at the end with the beep 
package in Debian so I know when I'm at a login prompt.  If Speakup 
times out, all I have to do is rerun /etc/rc.local.  Is there something 
that I'm missing here?  Is there some obvious advantage to speakupconf 
that I don't know about?  I always created a script to manage voice 
settings since I started using Speakup in 2000.
