Somehow /etc/asound.conf got broken on my system. Once I used a rescue disk and updated /etc/asound.conf with a valid copy created using the rescue disk and espeakup and pick-speaker script on the rescue disk espeakup now works again. No idea how that happened since I hadn't edited /etc/asound.conf. Good to know this since it's something to check first in the event of future trouble.
