Hi, 1st, I have always had the idea the the spd service had bugs and was not really usable: spent so resource, didn't run really, etc. Hence the fact it's always been in "no" in defaults/speech-dispatcher.
2nd, given this feedback, maybe we may try requesting to the initscript to wait for some seconds, with a kind of pause parameter? Would it fix the bug?
