Hello,

Digging back this issue, related also to a recent discussion on
debian-accessibility

I have been able to reproduce something like this: run dmesg, let it
start speak, press a key to stop it, press some other keys, but the
speech remains silent until a few seconds. I have tracked this down to
espeak having some extra 50ms delays that repeat for each dropped
phoneme/word, thus the apparent pause.

I have just uploaded to sid version 1.50+dfsg-10 of espeak-ng that drops
that delay, would you be able to test it?
