Firstly, why not use espeakup? Should work more reliably.
Sounds like you are using espeakup though so speechd-up isn't
necessary.
Alternatively, you could remove espeakup and use speechd-up with
speech-dispatcher which might solve this, though I didn't bother trying
and besides espeakup will probably be more reliable for you.

Sounds similar to my problem - have a look at my last thread.
Sounds like pulseaudio is causing you problems as it did for me.
Maybe you can try reverting to alsa, but before you break anything
perhaps a good idea to get a second opinion.
To use alsa you should be able to just disable pulseaudio in rcconf and
change speech-dispatcher to use alsa in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.conf
Also disable pulseaudio in start up applications in gnome.
Best of luck,
Daniel
