In addition, Emacspeak (which is not a screen reader but a full speech
interface to Emacspeak and its extensions) has always included its own speech
servers. Orca used to be compatible with these, but the necessary support
hasn't been maintained by the Orca community.
If mixing happens at lower levels of the audio system, then at least multiple
speech applications will be able to write their output to the ALSA device
simultaneously, and the user will hear the end result - which might well not
be intelligible.
