Yeah, the user feedback is not great, though and does not help for being 
as discoverable. If Gary has a nice idea (maybe displaying a help text a 
la 'you need to select a text first') to speak it back might be an 
option. I think for the GSM palette we have a similar 'help'.

I can see this when playing back long text (1-N sentences). After the 
text has been played back the play/pause button stays in pause position 
and the stop button stays active (tested with the button UI not the menu 
one).

To be really correct I guess you would put 2011-2012, then :)
