Hi Gregory and all,
Yes, I saw that and was interested indeed.
I thing puzzles me though. I read:

I Slint speech synthesis is available in both console and GUI sessions
at the
same time with PulseAudio installed. Is that not possible in Devuan?
Best regards,
Didier

Subject: [DNG] Announcing Devuan 4.0: Chimaera!
Dear Friends and Software Freedom Lovers,
Devuan Developers are pleased to announce the release of Devuan Chimaera
4.0 as the project's newest stable release. This is the result of lots of
painstaking work by the team and extensive testing by the wider Devuan
community.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in Chimaera 4.0?
* Based on Debian Bullseye (11.1) with Linux kernel 5.10.
* Your choice of init: sysvinit, runit, and OpenRC.
* Improved desktop support - virtually all desktop environments available
in Debian are now part of Devuan, systemd-free.
* New boot, display manager and desktop theming.
* Enhanced accessibility: installation via GUI or console can now be
accomplished via software or hardware speech synthesis, or using a
refreshable braille display, and Devuan Chimaera has the ability to
install desktop environments without PulseAudio, allowing speech
synthesis in both console and GUI sessions at the same time.
