IMO a better way would be to allow restricting accept-process-output to
just a single process output reading. Then the speech output system,
aware of possible consequences of advising 'message' etc., could invoke
accept-process-output in the restricted form, without the danger of
unwanted side effects.
I think it would be reasonable to provide a way to tell
wait_reading_process_output to ignore certain processes and read from
certain other processes. I worry about the idea of not running timers,
though, and that seems unnecessary for what you need. I think it
would be better to implement the feature so that timers do run.
I think it would be better to clean up the calling conventions
of wait_reading_process_output rather than try to squeeze everything
into the existing argumemts.
