speak() in python ignoring callback (for BEGIN)

Hello,

you might call it ,,messed up'', but it is also true that the
logic of implementation of handling of asynchronous text protocol
events in a client library is not an easy thing in principle.
I believe a separate thread is necessary.

I know of some succesful uses of the Python speechd library
where callbacks are used (Orca or an OLPC activity I believe),
but their use of callbacks might be different or might suffer
the same problem less frequently. As was said in the TODO: item,
we know about the problem.

I won't have any time now to fix it, but I'll accept any patches,
so feel free to look into it. Perhaps it is a good idea to
change the whole mechanism how the callbacks are invoked,
as long as the functionality is maintained for the client
application developers.

Thanks for your input,
Hynek Hanke
