There is an espeak-pulse package that is built with pulse support enabled in the Makefile. I built my espeak-test package using portaudio19 like the espeak package in community, but I can rebuild it or built an espeak-pulse-test that is the same development version if it would help. Unfortunately, the problem I ran into is that using espeak-pulse, I had to go through some strange gymnastics once I logged into GNOME before espeakup would speak. I had to first login to GNOME, and then I had to stop espeakup from /etc/rc.d. Then I had to kill -9 espeakup and then start it again from /etc/rc.d. Once I did that, it worked fine, but it seemed like a lot to have to do in order to get a GUIless text console up and talking. I thought that espeak-test may solve the problem, but I get the same bunch of errors that I got with community espeak. I do still believe, however, that the developer of espeak could use an AUR package to make testing of his development versions easier, so I uploaded it in the hope that it would attract testers. I will gladly do the same for the pulse version if it would be helpful, as it does seem to at least suppress the error messages and there is something that can be done to make it work, which over time may be able to be improved upon or even eliminated. ~Kyle
