Maybe ;( 

Did you try with a up-to-date Debian OS ? : 

sudo apt-get install espeak-ng 

Does it install espeak-ng ? 

> Suggestion: build and install it from source. 

Yes, I did it already.  And after (lot of) tips, espeak-ng was working. 
I did many test espeak vs espeak-ng (executable). 
Also test using only libraries. 

Now, after un-installing espeak and espeak-ng, I did try, like common user,
to install the binaries (not compiling all) on a virgin system. 

And with my system (maybe broken): 

sudo apt-get install espeak  -----> Ok, espeak is installed. 
sudo apt-get install espeak-ng  -----> NOT Ok, espeak-ng package not found.

Huh,  on my maybe broken system,  I get: 
"http://espeak.sourceforge.net is not accessible" 

Strange indeed...

Hum, nice (but no comparaison with the huge number of cross-platform that
Portaudio can do). 

Ok, ok, you win, I will study espeak-ng more deeply.

Yes my ears are very strange... 

Thanks Martin.
