Description William Hubbs gentoo-dev

While testing espeak with speech-dispatcher, it was discovered that the default volume for software speech using espeak and speech-dispatcher is very low.  This has been narrowed down to the way speech-dispatcher sets the volume, so this bug is to track working on this issue.

This has been fixed by speech-dispatcher-0.6.2-r1.

I am re-opening this bug because I received more information from upstream about how the volume and rate settings work.  We should set the volume to maximum and allow the user to modify it in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf.  The current fix does not do this.

This is fixed this time. :-)  We set the volume to the maximum level by default, and the default can be changed in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf.
