The ECI APIs segregated _speaker_ and _driver_ parameters. The _speaker_ parameters were per speaker. The _driver_ parameters were global for all speakers. This is how eloquence, ibmtts, viavoice, and ttsyn on Linux work. I agree with you that the existing speaker parameter interface could be used. It's your call, I won't strong lobby or object to either direction. :-) Thanks.
