ESpeakup is running as root, and everything is running as a user. I think the 
easiest solution here is to configure Pulse to run system-wide. I know there 
is an option in one of the Pulse configuration files to enable this, but I 
don't think Debian ships a startup script or systemd service file to use 
PulseAudio in system mode. Happy to be corrected.
