Hello Trevor. If you're using pulse then my changes won't be relevant to you because the changes are applied to wave.cpp which is used for portaudio. I now have speech-dispatcher and speechd-up running with espeak compiled for portaudio and sd configured for alsa. I have also installed Orca on the default Raspbian with these changes applied but so far whenever I try to run Orca the card flakes out. Beginning to think it's just a step too far for the Pi. Might work with a lighter desktop than lxde. I can send you the script that applies the changes if you want. Have you tried trapping the kernel errors with a serial console? On the Pi it is caused by the VCHIQ baulking at a null pointer caused by latency set too fast.
