[Tts-project] Bug#1101681: speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng: TTS fails unless a voice is specified on the command line.

[Stepan Novotny]

Package: speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng
Version: 0.12.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
The following works as expected: spd-say -o espeak-ng-mbrola -y mb-us1 'Testing testing 1 2 3'
The following failes to use default voice: spd-say -o espeak-ng-mbrola 'Testing testing 1 2 3'
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I tried adding voice configuraiton to /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng-mbrola.conf
   VoiceFileDependency "/usr/share/mbrola/$VOICE/$VOICE"
   VoiceFileDependency "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/espeak-ng-data/voices/mb/mb-$VOICE"
   AddVoice "en-us" "FEMALE1" "us1"
   AddVoice "en-us" "MALE1" "us2"
   DefaultVoice "us1"
   * What was the outcome of this action?
The above paramters are all ignored.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Behavious should be the same as any other such config file,
so that a default voice and default language will be used.
