Hi, I think for it to work correctly you'd have to set pulseaudio to run as a system wide service. You could also try launching speakup and espeakup or speechd-up after the desktop has loaded. Probably the easiest way is to install Vinux which has all this stuff working already but is Ubuntu 10.04 under the hood.
