Here's a possible fix. It's a replacement for the wavegen.cpp file for eSpeak v1.16. The change is at line 474. Some code which I thought was only needed for portaudio v18 is now also used for v19. Please let me know whether or not this fixes the problem. http://espeak.sourceforge.net/test/wavegen.cpp.zip
