	I did fire up the arts daemon, but not recently.  I'll re-check.
	Meanwhile, here is my vchan hw output.  Would setting  these 
	vchans to, say, 2 or 4 be helpful?

p2 6:40 <tao2> [40] sysctl -a | grep vchan
hw.snd.maxautovchans: 0
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 0

	FWIW, I'm running Gnome on Unbuntu and had it on my old Kayak,
	and the tts apps works/worked no-problem.
