"But doesn't libao conflict with a pipewire running in the desktop?"
On this system the line in speechd.conf audioOutputMethod "libao"
is not commented out, so it appears to work.  On another system I have, when I tried 
that, I had problems.  I think it didn't talk, so I commented the line out.  On this 
system I seem to get slightly better responsiveness when switching to the console with 
Espeak if "libao" is used.
If "libao" is not used there is sometimes a delay when I login on the Espeak 
console before it starts talking.
Maybe the sound cards being different has something to do with it, I'm not sure.

Debian has a long term plan to get rid of pulseaudio and the pipewire
process is running to handle what pulse did previously. Then you can do what
the Debian accessibility FAQ says and configure the 'libao' in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf.
But doesn't libao conflict with a pipewire running in the desktop?
