Quick query but, I think it would be a good idea to have a virtual/speech virtual for the speech synthesizers we carry in portage, this includes (from what I can tell): eflite epos festival flite speechd At the very least, if nothing else, we could at least use a virtual/festival, as I see various text->speech programs utilizing it (in particular, I know that the kde speech daemon uses it for their accessibility programs). Let me know what you think.

Let me know what > you think. As I understand virtuals, if we set up virtual/speech, it would mean that any package that provides this virtual would have to be a drop-in replacement for any other package that provides it. If anyone else in accessibility knows differently, please correct me. I don't believe the speech synthesizers we have are compatible that way, so I do not think a virtual would work for them.
Decided it wasn't a good idea afterall given the circumstances of the packages being able to exist together, INVALID.
