I think eSpeakup needs a way to be started at boot, after the 
speakup_soft module is inserted on the kernel. I don't know if it's 
possible to send a command in the boot sequence of the live CD and it 
will insert the speakup_soft module and start eSpeakup automatically, 
but if it's possible it would be nice.

When speakup (the screen reader) loads itself on the kernel, it uses an 
external synthesizer to output text or the system is responsible for 
starting a bridge to a software synthesizer (eSpeakup in this case).
eSpeak and Portaudio are dependencies to make eSpeakup (the software 
that gets the text from speakup) and speaks it using eSpeak work.

Hope you understood it. It looks complicated at first but it's only a 
sequence of actions to be performed at the boot time.
