Well, by debugging the issue so that we get to know what to fix. You can
install the espeakup-dbgsym package from the debug Debian archive, and
then use as root

    gdb /usr/bin/espeakup $(pidof espeakup)

and at the gdb> prompt type

    thread apply all bt full

so we have an idea of what it is doing.

I don't think the patches applied can fix the issue you are having.
