I found this article about getting Alsa to work with Arch Linux: http://zerzer.x303.cc/2012/06/05/installing-alsa-on-raspberry-pi-and-archlinuxarm/ Hopefully that can help even though you use Debian. It basically came down to loading the snd-bcm2835 module with modprobe, then doing alsactl init Then espeak should work.
