Thanks for your quick response.

I did make clean, make confiig and make whenever I changed the
emacspeak I was using.  I did tryy to load emacspeak using esc-x
load-file, but I got some kind of fatal error when trying to do that.
Since this is a mac, would I need mplayer and sox?

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
