Last time I consciously used it, then yes it did. That required a few
config changes though. I remember it wasn't easy.

I'm using brltty's espeak driver directly. I want speech with minimum
latency.

Maybe. Last time I was successful in making Orca work, it used its own
speech output separate from BRLTTY's with ALSA or PulseAudio doing the
audio multiplexing/mixing. I try to stay in the text console as much as
possible though, so I'm not a good reference about Orca usage.
