I'm having trouble getting sound out of Ubuntu. Some article advised to enable the "speech dispatcher" from /etc/default/speech-dispatcher. What is it? What does it do? Any ideas?

It's a daemon that programs can use to output speech, without caring about the actual speech synthesis software required for the language.

Project homepage is http://devel.freebsoft.org/speechd

You can use it with spd-say:

$ spd-say Hello!
