I think the whole KDE-Multimedia stuff is a mystery. In particular if you try 
to run it in threads. I think most of that KDE stuff is not thread-save. I 
also had to make some modifications in KSayIt and it seems to me I found a 
reliable solution now. I can send you the code, if you are interested.

KDE 3.2.1, QT 3.2.1.

How's the handling of those wave files? It should be avoided to blow up the /
tmp/-dir with terrabytes of old wave files from KTTSD.
