xdg-utils package
I wrote earlier how this could be giving orca its darth vader voice just 
as a user logged in.  I'm pretty sure it's likely to be a pulseaudio 
problem though since I cleared xdg-utils and its configuration from my 
system yesterday.  The static on speakers with most speech came back this 
morning.  The first thing I tried was to remove all of xorg group and 
configurations and that didn't get me back to normal speech on reboot. 
The next thing I did was to remove pulseaudio with all configurations and 
cascading so everything it used was also removed then I rebooted and now I 
finally got normal speech back on system.  So whatever libraries that have 
been getting updated recently used by xorg before I removed it could be 
having adverse accessibility impacts.  One of the libraries was matrosca 
which I don't often get updates to on this system.
