I have a 2007 Allez Triple, today I broke a spoke, took the wheel to the LBS, only to be told that Specialized don't make straight spokes anymore, is that correct?

No idea, but if you ride a lot I'd be tempted to see this as an opportunity to upgrade your wheels.

And don't fall for the fancy factory built wheels otherwise you can have the same problem all over again! Get yourself a set of handbuilt wheels which are a lot more durable and can be fixed at pretty much any bike shop! Yes they don't look as sexy but hey the smart people will know.
