It can't ever go away. You over-pruned the quoted text. Lennart carries on (the very next paragraph) to explain: "Effectively this means that instead of running PA for the tts daemon which then watches access on the audio device nodes, it [meaning speechd-up et al.] would have to watch CK and enable/disable itself as soon as somebody logs out or logs in and could *directly access the audio devices*." (Emphasis and [] mine) The idea being that once the user logs in, a user-spawned process takes over from there (which is basically what I was suggesting too albeit avoiding running PA for the "idle" session).
