I followed Chassell's instruction and failed:

I don't know what is the culprit.

Is emacspeakconfig run automatically during packet installation? I
don't think I have been asked such a question. If it is a user who is
to run emacsconfig, then Chasell's instruction is incomplete and
misleading.

Knoppix uses OSS by default, and my report concerns OSS.

Howewer, to use Oralux on my computer I have to choose ALSA and it
doesn't seem to affect emacspeak; perhaps it uses the emulation you
mentioned.
