Hi, Using a stable distro should be possible without doing unusual things. Using a screenreader on plain tty without running a desktop with pulseaudio should be possible as well.
The alsa bug is really old and was reported in 2009 upstream. http://lists.freebsoft.org/pipermail/speechd/2009q1/001600.html This issue wasn't fixed in upstream speechd afaik. The libao output was developed to adress these issues and i wrote many times about it during freeze period of speechd on this list and also on spechd's list. Sorry if the choosen priority for the bugreport was wrong. Unfortunately nobody complained about it during squeeze freeze period. I wrote brailcom asked for a backport ppackage for squeeze.
