Expected results: speech-dispatcher should be speaking "Testing 1 2 3". This is a snap-specific issue, speech synthesis works well with an unconfined build of firefox.

By default, communication is done over a socket `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock`, granting this would need some snapd interface change. Experimenting further by forcing `SPEECHD_ADDRESS=inet_socket` (as well as in the configuration file `/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf`, one still cannot get `speechSynthesis.getVoices()` to return more than an empty array. It looks like `libspeechd2` somehow handles some auto spawning of the daemon, and I assume this is getting blocked by the Snap-level sandboxing. This can be bypassed by issuing `spd-say -L` aside of a running Firefox, and once you have a process spawn quickly isssuing a `speechSynthesis.getVoices()` to connect to it. Once that is done, Speech Synthesis can work.

Ubuntu people suggested we rather rely on socket activation as reported on https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/issues/448. That, in combination with bug 1787245 should be enough.
