[DECtalk] the cause of electronic beeps in dectalk?

[Alex H.]

Wait wait...

Is this some hackery with Wine to get windows executables to function
on mac, then doing a .speechvoice?

I think that approach will have plenty of lag and generally, will add
to OSX's general sluggish behavior, especially in Yosemite. Would be
willing to take this off-list as it may get technical/bore others lol
