I find reports from others that it's working for them to be useful. It
helps me know if it's something global or unique to my system. More data
points would also help the NVDA folks determine what might be wrong at
their end.
What browser are you using? When you say you can't get the speech
samples to play, what are you experiencing, silence, an error message or
what? Havve you tried NVDA instead of JAWS yet?
For me, they work just fine on a system running Ubuntu, Firefox and Orca.

Although the voice must be understandable and some what pleasant, the voice must also be free of charge, responsive, small in size, and has the ability to speak most if not all currently supported languages.
