The (stupid) reason that speech won't work when you run brltty as root is 
because that's a pulse audio (the sound server) restriction. I get around it by 
running a system instance of pulse audio, but getting that set up right isn't 
easily done. Running brltty via sudo should be fine as that'll give brltty its 
root privileges and also give pulse audio your user session.

Okay. Just checking. I don't assume anything when there are problems.

The keyboard key table definitely won't work if brltty isn't running as root 
(or via sudo).

In brltty.conf, you should have the following two lines:

   log-level debug
   log-file /path/to/logfile

>> When you have the log file, just attach it to a message to this list.
>As attachment or inline text?

As an attachment would be best.
