This is getting to be an interesting adventure. I rebuilt the espeak package setting it up so it supports portaudio19. After doing the make in the src directory and then make install, I tried ./speak hello in that same src directory and the sound system worked once saying hello. Anything else done with espeak returns the following errors.
