No problem Pia - thanks for the explanation. I'm curious if speech-dispatcher may be of interest to you. Since you're talking about putting things in the kernel, however, I suspect it might be too user level for you. The reason I ask, however, is that we're trying to supplant gnome-speech with speech-dispatcher and we can use help shoring up the code.
