Overly aggressive flyspell auditory icon



There seems to be a problem with flyspell auditory icons in some
modes. I have only been able to do some partial discovery to reproduce
the issue. In particular, it is quite reproducible in message-mode. I
have been able to reproduce it on both Linux and OSX.

When flyspell identifies a misspelled word, flyspell underlines it and
Emacspeak plays an auditory icon. If you enter two single letter
characters with a space between then, it seems you end up in a loop
where Emacspeak cotinually plays the auditory icon. You have to delete
the characters to stop the loop.

To reproduce

1. Open the scratch buffer
2. Do M-x message-mode to put the buffer into message mode
3. Type the same character twice with a space separating them 
4. Hit space and the loop begins. 
5. To stop the loop, backspace to delete the space following the second
character.

It seems that it only occurs when the two characters are the same i.e.

a a followed by a space will work
a b does not seem to work

Workaround at this time is to turn off auditory icons locally if you run
into this problem, though emacs becomes sluggish, so I suspect it is
still calling the function, but not playing the icon as the variable
indicates not to. It first happened to me when I was drafting an email
with some example code in it and I had a line with (s-s s) in it.  So
far, I've only observed this when using message-mode.
