Well,
It is interesting. I haven't tried for some time, however for me, on any
distro I ever touched, per user pulseaudio + things like espeakup never
just worked.
And if they did, it would mean I don't understand something about linux
sound architecture, as all my knowledge suggests it shouldn't work
without, at least, running pulseaudio as a system service or somehow
taking it out of the way at right moments.
