Hey again Bruce; I solved this on my second Ubuntu 10.10 computer and now have a procedure and a reason for the "issue".
I can walk you through the procedure, but it is based on pulseaudio getting in the way and pulseaudio being used as the default open-java stuff. There is a much quicker way of getting around things than messing with open-java and amounts to a three step process to switch to sun-java's jre. In short I added in a one or two extra alsa packages, and I am not sure this is needed over a default install AT ALL So skip this preliminary step unless doing the following three steps do NOT work for ya.; 1 - Enable ALL of the repos in synaptic except the source ones. This is done as selected items on TWO tabs under settings>repos. 2 - Load up sun's java6 jre and (optionally) the plugins and fonts packages (for browser usability). 3 - Run 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and select the sun stuff. (This is why you can keep the open java stuff around....) Then you can check the settings with 'java -version'. And, if things went well, run 'altosui' and try the voice stuff !!
