Interesting idea. Would the fixed Speech display relieve this need, or would
you still want a no-op display?

We have already fixed this for 1.2.1, although you will need to be running Snow

use-the-user's-preferred-speech-settings department.
You're welcome to try the beta:

Beta 4 will be out later today, so you may want to wait for it.
