AFAIK, the GDM login relies on autospawning, so turing off auto spawning
will result in no sound at gdm login.

As for speechd-up I'd recommend running it as the gdm user, not as a
system user, then when the real user logs in, the gdm user's PA and
speechd-up processes should die and a version for the user who is
logging in should be run in it's place.

I think this configuration has been discussed quite thoroughly over the
last couple weeks.

I'm not familiar with it, so speechd-up may require modification to work
this way but it certainly seems like the most logical and secure way to
run the system (the same would be true of timidity too I believe).
