Hi. I believe I have managed to prove the DECtalk driver is the problem and not Gnopernicus. I configured Gnopernicus to use the DECtalk driver and ran it until I lost speech. When speech died, I switched to a text console and ran "ps aux|grep srcore". Srcore was still running. I then tried to run test-speech and chose the DECtalk driver. Test-speech couldn't activate the DECtalk driver. I didn't capture the exact error, if needed I can duplicate the experiment and get an exact error. When I lost speech, I was in a folder of playlists. I had no problem selecting and playing any of the files without speech. Lucky for me, the files all start with different letters and the Gnome media players both use control-q to exit. After making sure Gnome and srcore hadn't crashed, I logged out and tryed to log in and restart gnopernicus. I got no speech from Gnopernicus. A "ps aux|grep srcore from a text console showed gnopernicus had started. I closed Gnopernicus and switched to the text console and used kill to remove all the gnome-speech processes. After that I could get speech again from Gnopernicus.
I did this using Gnopernicus 0.9, Gnome-speech 0.3.6, running Gnome 2.8. My system is running Debian unstable with the latest updates. Hope this helps.
