Hello, For information, I have added repositories for espeak-ng and pcaudiolib: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-a11y/espeak-ng.git git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-a11y/pcaudiolib.git I have built binaries for pcaudiolib, espeak-ng, and espeakup, they are available in deb http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/tmp ./ That should notably be fixing the issues between espeakup and pulseaudio.
