Problems with Ubuntu Espeak 1.19 package?

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Hi,

I don't know about the details of this, but espeak has now made it into 
main and installs fine here. After an update on Feisty the espeak driver 
for gnome-speech becomes available in the Orca selection box.

We still have tweak gnome-speech or Orca to make it run espeak by 
default from the Live CD.
