Hello,
I have noticed that with espeakup the speech tends to avoid any kind
of pause between lines, even if the line ends with a comma. Worse, the
prosody ends the phrase at the end of line, even if there is no period.
This is simply because espeakup currently "eats" \n and does not pass
them to espeak, and instead use them as speech separators. I have
obtained way better result by passing '\n' to espeak, as attached patch
does (but I don't seem to be able to push it to
git at github.com:williamh/espeakup.git

Also pass \n to espeak, for proper pause etc.
