Mike, It might be a similar issue on the Speech Dispatcher side. They're not directly related, since Speech Dispatcher uses its own audio output code, rather than letting espeak handle audio output on its own. If you started noticing new and unexpected sd_espeak crashes after upgrading your alsa library, then Speech Dispatcher's alsa code may not be playing well with the new library either. -- Chris
