[Grml] Accessibility: espeakup and ALSA

Hello, I seem to have a memory of a message saying that ALSA sound support in the medium ISO is being considered for removal, although I cannot find the message. Now as accessibility is being put in the medium ISO, the problem is that espeakup and espeak rely on working sound support to be of any use (as mentioned in the festival TTS documentation sound output is desirable, although having no sound card does mean less defects will be heard).

I just thought I would bring this point to the attention of the developers, as there is no point in including espeakup and espeak unless sound support is there.
