Good idea. Turns out this is fairly simple. In my
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf, I do:
CommunicationMethod "inet_socket"
I believe the following two are default, but just in case, I uncomment
them as well:
Port 6560
LocalhostAccessOnly 1
Now, I'm somewhat concerned that 'nmap -P0 localhost' doesn't show port
6560. Nevertheless, I try my spd-say command after rebooting ...

Indeed, there seems such a bug as hang is what it did. But, now I get
errors as follows. I don't know where to take this. Advice much
appreciated.

Autospawn failed: Mismatch in communication methods. Client requests
unix_socket, most probably due to its configuration or the
value of the SPEECHD_ADDRESS environment variable, but the server is configured
to provide the inet_socket method.
How so still looking for unix sockets? And how so can't write a log?
Checking the log directory is owned by root, gid root. Directory is set
700, and file is 660. Seems root should be able to write. Or, is SD not
running as root?
