Dear List,

I found possible some useful information why not working the Espeak 
package right if I using hungarian voice under Lucid and unfortunately 
Maverick:
When I compiled the Espeak package with my Lucid system, following file 
have binary difference:
espeak-data/phondata
When I run following command with package source tree after compiling, 
diff shows binary difference with this file:
diff espeak-data/phondata debian/espeak-data/usr/share/espeak-data/phondata
Why happening this?
This is not good I think.

This day morning I downloaded current Maverick dayly live CD and test 
how works Espeak with original Maverick environment, my test result is 
not good:
When I using Orca with english woice, I not see any problem. But when I 
switch person with hungarian voice, I see all prewious described 
problems, so this problem is not only Lucid specific unfortunately.
I maked two simple wave file with shows the voice wrong working 
difference. I using following native Espeak command when I record this 
two voice file in gnome-terminal:
espeak -v en "Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is 
good." -w text-en.wav
espeak -v hu "Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is 
good." -w text-hun.wav

If you try run in Maverick live cd with gnome-terminal the espeak -v hu 
"Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is good." command, 
you hear the bad voice result.

Unfortunately the two recorded wave file is too big with list rule, so I 
impossible to send this two wave file, but this problem is always 
reproducable.

I verify original espeak.sourceforge.net website awailable stable 
version this test, all test are passed, all voice text spokening is good 
both two languages.
