** Description changed:

  The command definition (GenericExecuteSynth) in /etc/speech-
  dispatcher/modules/pico-generic.conf use a fixed file name for the wave
  file ($TMPDIR/pico.wav):
  
  GenericExecuteSynth \
  "pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' && $PLAY_COMMAND 
$TMPDIR/pico.wav
  
  If you use spd-say or a speech dispatcher enabled application with root,
  it will create the pico.wav file owned by root with restricted
  permissions.
  
  If you try to use spd-say with a different user, it will then fail,
  failing to access the /tmp/pico.wav file.
  
  A solution would be to create a temporary file per user ID:
  
  GenericExecuteSynth \
- "USERID=`id -u` && pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' 
&& $PLAY_COMMAND $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav"
+ "USERID=`id -u` && umask 077 && pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav -l 
$VOICE \'$DATA\' && $PLAY_COMMAND $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav"
