I have a question relating to Arch in the meantime; if I specify espeak in an ignor option for pacman, will the upgrade process still tell me if new versions come available? I ask this because if I don't formally ignore this package, pacman -Syu would merely try to upgrade all referenced packages including espeak. That's one thing where I wish pacman had an option where you could step through packages one by one; presently, it's an all or none situation. Most of the espeak problems I encountered seemed to happen with emacspeak; hadn't noticed any particular problem with espeakup and speakup yet. But when I downgraded, emacspeak began to speak properly again. With espeak 0.44.05 or whatever, emacspeak started wining all over the place with pitch changes. To much for me. Emacspeak and its varying voices is enough and well intentioned but this got to be out of hand so dropping back to previous version fixed that problem.
