espeak is not a pulse audio application but uses portaudio - something
quite different.
I dont have pulseaudio installed and seeing all the bad things people
say about it on other distributions I am leary about installing it on an
otherwise working system without good cause.
Note that as mentioned previously I have audio through the headset
already via mplayer, just not with espeak.

It looks like bluez is continually changing so most of the guides Ive
found dont apply - I am using bluez-4.39. alsamixer etc dont list the
bluetooth device and I cant see it in /proc/asound, but its obviously
there if mplayer can access it!
With:
gnome-base/gnome-2.28.2
net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-2.28.6
media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.21.1
You only go to System-Preferences-Bluetooh, Set new device...,
detect and connect yo your headset, and then System-Sound, in the
output tab you select your headset, and all the PulseAudio
applications will output sound through your headset.
If also you have
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
in your ~/.asoundrc, all the ALSA applications will use PulseAudio,
and then it will work for them too.
