Hmm, how does your /etc/asound file look, or ~/.asoundrc file?

I will write to the emacspeak and speakup lists then.
Surely if there is a way to force espeak to use pulseaudio the problem

I even tried building espeak with pulseaudio only, but it still seems to
be throwing errors, so not sure what is going on...

While on vacation time it's fine to use just orca and to deal with these
emacspeak bugs, but when I need to do more heavy work next year might
need to revert back to alsa.
Thanks for your help.
