Yes, that's it. (I don't know that myself, I'm just asking Rémi all the  
time ;-) )
This list returns all installed languages, and as soon as you select one,  
the list is updated and only includes English and the second language you  
choosed. (The Acapela license only allow you to use English and a second  
language simultaneously.)

 From my point of view, I think tux.tts.select_voice should only allow the  
languages that are in tux.tts.authorized_voices_list to be selected, as  
the others won't. Then it can return an error if the language doesn't  
exist, or return the URL if the language exists but is not installed.
