Bug#946029: espeak: inform that --stdin flag reads multi-line text and then speaks it after EOF

Package: espeak
Version: 1.48.04+dfsg-7
Severity: minor
Hello maintainers..!
There's two ways to have espeak read from stdin:
- running it with no arguments, which makes it speak every line; and
- running it with the --stdin flag, which makes it read a text file (viz.
multi-line text) from stdin until the EOF, and then speak it all at
once.
I found out the difference between the two because, I wanted to
pipe edbrowse, an interactive program, to espeak
to make it speak out every new line of output -
so I read the manpage of espeak for flags to use stdin,
since some other programs in Debian require a flag.
I figured out after a while to not use that flag but,
it'd be nice if the manpage added
a sentence or two in the description for the --stdin flag
mentioning this different behaviour from no-argument espeak.
Thank you! And sorry for my bad writing..
