Hi. The Debian live cd for Jessie can run both espeak and orca at the same time, so I suspect they've recompiled espeak to work with pulse audio. However, when I tried an apt-get dist-upgrade, the problem persists. I'm having problems getting the debian-installer-launcher to run from the cd. It keeps trying to activate the framebuffer, and hanging. An interesting catch 22.
