Hi Samuel, et al

I've been trying for quite some time to figure this one out. I think that 
espeakup's stopping speaking happens after something changes the audio 
buffering somehow. After a time the audio buffering is no longer interrupting, 
or flushing but the next bit of speech is talking over the audio buffer, even 
though it is quite short. I thought I had a reproducible situation where as 
soon as the load got how enough this buffering change would happen. When I 
reverted libpulse0 to 14.2 it took a lot longer to get in to that state but it 
eventually got there anyway.

Any idea of who might be changing the audio buffering such that espeakup talks 
over itself when doing screen review? Maybe knowing this info can help us find 
the source of the trouble. I've reverted to older espeak and espeakup without 
seeing benefit. libasound has not updated in the time since it started acting 
this way. I have been taking newer kernels. I haven't tried booting a 5.17 
kernel to see if that has any impact as of yet.

Thanks for any help. It's very much appreciated.
