My understanding is that emacspeak requires (or last I checked, did) a
special voice output device.
More likely useful would be the festival package, which handles vocoding
directly, and can translate arbitrary text to speach on standard HW w/
soundcard.
For general audio editing, audacity rocks, though there are simpler
audio records if all you need to do is capture tracks.
