Using the standard portaudio package, I still get about 3 lines of errors whenever I run espeak from a terminal, either using espeak from community or my espeak-test package. However, espeak does still speak there. I also get no speech with either package when using espeakup, unless I go through all the magic incantations necessary to make espeak-pulse run with espeakup. The problem seems to stem from the fact that espeakup runs as root, and a user's pulseaudio daemon has to be running before it will speak. However, if espeakup is already running before pulseaudio starts, it still amps out and can only be killed manually and then restarted before it will recognize that a connection to pulse can be established. ~Kyle
