Is this really known by maintainers? I think so, since it has to do with the kernel serial port issue. There seems to be nothing the kernel developers want to do to make Speakup work with kernels after 2.6.38 or whatever it is. I should add that I don't have an internal synthesizer, so maybe those still work. The poster didn't say whether the Apollo is external or not.
