No, we really want espeak-ng-mbrola to be the default when it's
available and working. But when there is no voice available there, it
won't be working so in that case speech-dispatcher shouldn't even enable
it, and thus fallback to espeak-ng. I'll have a look at fixing that,
thanks for the report that at last reached somebody who is actually in
touch with speech-dispatcher!
