That's the last solution they came on for the tts. The tts daemon can't  
output on any sound card, the Acapela license only allows output to tux  
itself. That means tuxttsdaemon is connected to the audio port directly,  
not going through dmix and other stuff. So when the tuxttsdaemon was  
running, it was impossible to use the audio port from another application.

Now tuxttsdaemon will use the second port and the daemon itself decides of  
which channel is active. You can't have mixing inside the dongle so you  
either have one or the other. From what I heard, it seems the daemon is  
monitoring the tts queue and when there's something in it, sends the  
command to switch to the tts channel, then comes back to the default  
channel.
