Speakup on Arch Linux

["Joseph C. Lininger" <joe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good day all,
I saw a couple of messages earlier about ALSA issues on Arch Linux with 
espeakup. I can't find them now though. The latest versions of alsa, 
speakup, linux kernel, etc. cause the speach to lag while typing. Is 
there a workaround to this, packages I should not upgrade right now, 
etc? I can revert my system to a previous state, but I need to know how 
to avoid this problem when I go to update packages going forward. Also, 
anyone know if a fix is in the works? Obviously just permanently using 
older package versions isn't a good solution.

Thanks in advance.
Joe
