Yep found it, and it seems to work fine, but I went back to .16 since .15 
didn't work with my speakers. Only pc speaker which is a big problem...
I'll try .15 again later if I get sick of crashes... :-)
Perhaps I can get it to work...

Yes, but I could use hold... Oh well I won't, since that breaks a lot of 
dependencies like mplayer and speech-dispatcher... (says apt, but the 
older version works fine...)

I hope there are too... Would make things a lot easier... :-)

Yep it is, and I think it is using alsa... I'll look later when I have 
time.
