Hello Martin, I'm a ham too, G4XBF. I have added 2 issues to the Raspberry Pi Foundation's bug tracker to try to get the problems fixed. In the mean-time I can probably make SpeakUp work by using a USB sound device. The kernel oops is caused by the queueing mechanism that interfaces to the Broadcom GPU on the RPI.
