The next issue is figuring out the architecture of speech-dispatcher.
It has the plugin modules prefixed 'sd_', like sd_expeak etc, and it has
audio sub-system source files like alsa and pulse etc.
Figuring out how they go together and which I need to extend upon is
going to be tricky.
I figure I probably need `sd_piespeak_ng` and probably an audio
sub-system too. But it could really all be done in the plugin, but that
would kind of negate from the usual architecture.
I might have to put some of the ring buffer code back in, but I hope not.

Rich,
In all my 27 years as a programmer, I never came across an individual
piece of code, or a whole project, green-field or otherwise, which I
didn't want to totally throw away and start again by the time I'd
'finished' it.
Sadly in the field that is rarely possible. Programming, like other
jobs, would be great, if it wasn't for customers.
