hello,
My thoughts. Pulse Audio has more functionality then Alsa. Alsa is great
for a low level system meaning only command line access. If you run a
graphical environment you will not be able to get discovery of sound
automatically unless of course you write some sort of scripts for Alsa.
I happen to think though that when Pulse Audio was beginning to be upon
the Linux community most of us who used Espeakup relied on Alsa
heaviely. Now its a bit of a problem for a user who wants the desktop
experience.
Thats just what I see.

Once pulseaudio is purged, try powering off the system then start the
system up again and find out what happens. If everything works, the
system will reconfigure to account for the absence of pulseaudio and
you should have speech back again once that happens.

Tried, but it totally jacked up my sound after that. I'm having to
reinstall again.

Mark has to get rid of pulseaudio and all of its dependencies.

Get rid of pulseaudio.
You should be able to google how to do that on your distro.

I'm at my witt's end! I'm working with f123, a manjaro based
distro, and have had really good luck, until it comes to console
speech using espeakup.
It'll speak for about 30 seconds, then I get a pulseaudio error
that looks like this.
assirtion 'p' failed at pulse/simple.c:273, function
pa_simple_write(). Aborting.
It's shot me down on every manjaro based distro I've tried. Others
have seemed to get speech in console, but I can't seem to make it
happen. Vinux has
it, and if i have to i'll put vinux on both machines, but that
seems a little nuts. I like vinux, and am using it now, but would
also like the
opportunity to work with these other distros. I've been able to
install my favorite programs, but trying to use them from a
terminal just doesn't read
well, so I need the console.
Oh, and before someone says google it, I've done that for a week.
Nothing helps. LOL!
