Yes.  Go into the options dialog with ctrl-alt-o.  There should be a key
echo option in there somewhere.

Not that I know of.

Yes.  Have a look at your yasr.conf.
There is an espeak speech server for emacspeak, and you can use that.
Alternatively, yasr can be configured to use speech-dispatcher, as long
as your speech-dispatcher is using tcp connections.
