Latest update of speech-dispatcher launches two pulseaudio instances that locks
the audio system.

Speech-dispatcher launch two pulseaudio instances locking the audio hardware
and then, users can not use this hardware.

When user log in into gnome, pulseaudio only detects the "dummy output" sound
device (no hardware device detected) and no sound can be played.

If root type: killall -9 pulseaudio , then hardware releases and users can use
pulseaudio --start and start playing sounds (hardware device is detected).

The solution I find: remove the speech-dispatcher package. Then, all is working
again.

Thanks.

Also would you remember whether the problem started with exactly 0.7.1-6? I.e. in previous 0.7* versions (e.g. 0.7.1-5 or 0.7-6.1 etc.), was everything was fine or was the problem present as well?
