Comment:
Ideally,  espeak users could be moved to espeak-ng since the former is unmaintained, but this will take some careful planning to prevent breakage. I know for a fact that speech dispatcher has weird issues when it is built against espeak-ng and espeak at the same time. Also, espeak-ng and espeak cannot coexist on the same system because espeak-ng ships compat links so that older packages supporting espeak can be built against espeak-ng. Another minor issue is an espeakup build issue, but that can be built against espeak-ng with minor changes to its makefile. Sonic is used by espeak-ng for faster speech rates. Just curious, did my packaging sonic cause you to create this pr or was it purely coincidental? As far as I know, espeak-ng is the only thing using libsonic and pcaudiolib etc.
