Bug#902347: brltty-espeak: omits certain punctuation in speech output, even if "announce all" activated

Package: brltty-espeak
Version: 5.6-4

Hi

I'm using BRLTTY with eSpeak as output module. I have set the punctuation level
to all:

    $ grep 'punct' /var/lib/brltty/brltty.prefs
    speech-punctuation all

but for instance "|" and "<" are not announced, whereas "-" or even '"' is.
Using `speak --punct'|<>' 'a|b| <= c'` works, too.

Thanks
