I just grabbed the daily image. I can confirm that it comes with alsa 
1.2.8, and also with espeakup 1:0.90-12 (ie. it contains your code to 
restart espeakup).

On my side, espeakup keeps crashing, but it's restarted thanks to your 
changes. I wouldn't have noticed the crashes if I didn't look at the logs.

The log file /var/log/espeakup.log shows that it's been restarted 3 
times when I arrived at the tasksel screen.

Cheers,
