Bug#662049: phonon: There is no sound at all - audio device is greyed out in configuration

[Grześ Andruszkiewicz <gandrusz@gmail.com>]

I used the advice from:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625235#30

and it seems to have done the trick!

But it seems that some recent update set this RUN=yes in
/etc/default/speech-dispatcher

Cheers,
Grzegorz
