If you have locate installed and ran updatedb recently you can type locate espeak.conf and find all locations for that file. The package may be called mlocate or locate and typing which locate will tell you if the locate package or mlocate package is installed.

I'm on Ubuntu. I originally sped up my speech by modifying the file
/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak.conf.
I suspect that spd-conf created another espeak.conf file somewhere and
that one is now the default. But it also set pulseaudio as the
default, so I haven't ruled that out as the problem.

Now this is interesting.  I did rm -fr ./config/pulse and then rebooted
the system to clear memory and played a webm file I have on vlc.
Afterwards no change to speech happened at all.  So it is possible what
configure-pulse is writing is causing problems.  This is a current
version of archlinux specifically talking arch with all software updated
on an x86_64 machine where all of this happened.

I predict this will be found not to be a fenrir problem at all but a
pulseaudio problem.  The reason for that is I have some pulseaudio support

for vlc installed on my system and had removed speech-dispatcher-git and
fenrir-git from my system since speech was being slowed down here too.
Whenever I use vlc to play an mp4 or webm file on this computer,
afterwards
the speech slows down and sounds like darth vader until I reboot the
system.
I could wipe out pulseaudio configuration and try playing another mp4 file
to
see if the same degradation happens too and probably will in a few minutes

since now this has got me curious.  I expect an outside possibility exists

fenrir wrote some wrong stuff with pulseaudio-config and this should be a
way
to find that out.

Now I have British-sounding speech as well as slow speech with pitch
changes and punctuations spoken that I don't want. I really need to
use the file I was using before.
Again, help is necessary and greatly appreciated.

I ran it while trying to make fenrir work. Now everything is VERY slow
and I get weird pitch changes with caiptal letters.

Before, I was able to adjust the max rate in the
/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak.conf file. That file is still
there, but the rate settings no longer seem to apply. I can't function
with speech this slow. Please help.
