I am now using speakup with espeak via speechd-up with no problems. First, I did see your email to me privately, and I want to appologise for not answering it. This list is a better place to get this type of question answered, because you will get more input that just from me. I am on the speakup team as well, and the reason I wrote espeakup, is that it is a small lightweight connector, which can be used more easily on embedded systems, live cds, etc. It is one daemon which reads directly from the soft synth device for speakup and calls espeak directly to speak it instead of passing the information to yet another process to speak. I haven't used speechd-up enough to comment more about it, but I'm sure there are others on the list who have used both and can give you a better feel for why they prefer one or the other.
