Hello Martin. Now that the pcaudiolib trip has ended, if you agree, i will give my sentiments (if not, just do not read what follows).
Jonathan Duddington, the creator of eSpeak did choose GPL license for his eSpeak code. I did ask him if he had plan to make it it LGPL, but no, this was not in his plan. So I **TOTALLY** respect this and did use eSpeak only as executable. But Jonathan also choose to use, as sound-output-library, a library without any license (Portaudio) , so even more permissive than a LGPL library. eSpeak-ng, who is a fork of eSpeak, IMHO, imposes the use of his GPL sound-output library. IMHO again, it is not fair, there is something different that the spirit of original eSpeak. Also, take a look at Pcaudiolib source and compare it with the Portaudio source. Huh, it is nearly a copy-paste (with some name-flavor for methods of Pulseaudio (that is LGPL)). My 0,00001 cent: Pcaudiolib should rename his license into LGPL.
