Hello,

I've updated to Brltty version 5.4 from the Debian repository. Now the speech 
output sounds very
monotonous (using the brltty-espeak package).

My espeak parameters are:
speech-parameters es:Voice=de,es:maxrate=800,es:punctlist=/-.{}

But it happens with all German and English voices and different speed settings. 
Next I tried the
latest Brltty from the master branch but the problem persists.

The espeak command itself still works as expected and sounds well:
espeak-ng -v de -s 520 -w output.wav "Hallo Welt" && aplay output.wav

My installed, espeak-related packages are:
s10 /tmp% dpkg -l | grep espeak

The old espeak package is still required by the speech dispatcher and therefore 
not removed yet.

Thanks
Eric
