Bug#864829: screen reader stops speaking

[Scott Leggett]

Hi,

I've been able to reproduce this bug. A not-very-helpful workaround is
to restart espeakup whenever sound goes missing.

I've dug into the issue a bit and found it discussed on
pulseaudio-discuss back in 2010. The discussion on the thread seems to
indicate that espeakup and pulseaudio couldn't coexist at the time due
to espeakup not being multi-seat aware. Lennart summarised what needs to
be done to get them working together[0].

I'm not sure what the situation is now. Looking briefly at espeakup
upstream [1], it doesn't seem to be very active, so maybe the situation is
the same?
