I'm using talkingarchlinux over here which standardizes on espeak-ng and
at least on an installation with talkingarchlinux because of the sound
output script that runs at beginning of installation my usb speakers
were found and talkingarchlinux was able to speak over those speakers.
That script could maybe be elaborated upon to search for pci serial
ports as well to accommodate this new version of speakup.

Subject: Re: New features for speakup
That sounds like quite a feature set, at least a couple of which I'll
find useful. The ability to use pci/usb serial ports is something a
lot of us including myself are looking forward to. Thanks for those
contributions.

I have a David modified version for 4.5.0 kernels which has the following
added features. Per screen synth variables so Darlene and I don't fight
over punctuation, rate etc. A variable can be set to multi so each
console can have its own settings. Also multiple cut and paste buffers.
One is local, to each console and three global ones like the current cut and
paste buffer. Also for those of us in software where people like code
properly indented, a say indent feature which says how far the line is
indented. Also you can read the contents of any of the paste buffers
in case you forget what is in them. Also changed rate/pitch variables
so instead of them being a number, the words per minute or absolute
pitch values are spoken. The next thing I am working is to get away from
requiring an on-board uart and instead, use any serial/usb device
available in the initial dev-fs. Yes, it will use evil writes to kernel
space devices and the purests will stone me maybe. But on-board uarts are
becoming rare and pci-express serial cards ought to be useful.
