When you say speech server, that could be implemented in a device ala /proc/kernel which lets you upgrade the kernel. You could have /proc/tts and then to say something you would/could simply go:

echo "This is the empeg talking" >/proc/tts

or the equivalent in the userland program. So this might be possible for a hijack thing.
