Fix espeakup loading
The old method to start espeakup was broken on many
sytems due timing of when the speakup kernel
module loaded for the detection to work correctly.
This new method now works more reliably as it checkes
/proc/cmdline for espeakup then enables the service
as intended. The only machines it stuggles on are
those with very special audio setups that the
dist kernel doesn't work out of the box with.
Fortunately these types of machines seem very
rare.
