Espeakup is not using Pulseaudio, whereas GNOME is. You will need to reconfigure the sound card that Alsa uses by default by editing /etc/asound.conf. There may be a way to force eSpeak or Espeakup to output through the USB speakers, but editing /etc/asound.conf is probably the easiest thing to do. You can then use standard Pulseaudio tools to move all the GNOME stuff where you want it. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"
