This utility will allow users of speakup to change the voice, pitch, etc. easily. I'll work on this ebuild in a couple days but needed a bug to remind me it's here.
Let me look at this before you decide to package it. This may not work with our version of speakup in the kernels. I need to make sure before you do it though, I'll try and do it this afternoon
Re-assign wrt Bug 45935. Probably should be marked WONTFIX, there is no ebuild here anyway.
I have found that the current released version of speakup-utils has bugs; I have submitted a patch to the author to get these fixed. Once that is done I will put the new version in portage.
Speakup-utils 1.0 has been added to portage.
