I'll spare you the long rant as to why. Suffice it to say you don't need pulseaudio to use Orca. I do use two separate sound cards, one for Speakup and the other for Orca. It's unfortunate, but my other choices pretty much require this. With the latest Orca, for Gnome 3.2, there's no choice other than Speech Dispatcher for espeak TTS. I still use TTSynth for Speakup with the Speakup-Connector, though espeak works perfectly well with Speakup, of course. But, I just find it easier to keep both environments very separate. At $10 for a USB audio device (C-Media), this just isn't much of a burden.
