So maybe go through the handbook and skip that chapter on building your
own kernel and the kernel you are either left with or install from
sources will have speakup in it? That ought to make installaing gentoo
considerably easier if true.

Depending on what kernel you build, speakup is certainly in gentoo. I
am not sure about the default kernel, but gentoo-sources does have
it. I have been using it for 5 years. The handbook is more or less
still good, I installed one on a vm on the mac a few months ago.

There's a /proc subdirectory in Linux for this and maybe on the
mac too. The Linux kernel has provisions by means of boot
parameters for selecting your sound card but you'll need its
address. Wait, have you tried lsusb -v|less yet? If you have
usb speakers plugged in on talkingarch instance you can get
useful information from that command I think.
The problem you're going to have with gentoo will be in kernel
building since speakup isn't installed in the kernel. I got that
far on installation a couple times but got no further. You may
have additional problems after kernel building I know nothing
about since I never got past that step. The other problem with
gentoo is handbook on internet documentation is several years out
of date so if there are easier ways to get an accessible install
of gentoo install they don't appear in that handbook. Good luck,
you're going to need it.

> I had talking arch live cd on a disk but my dvd device isn't working anymore so I have the gentoo minimal cd on my stick because dd can't write big files on any stick here. But there on talking arch I had to select the right soundcart - it was not the first avaylable - maybe I have to select the right soundcart on gentoo too? But how?
