Hey, You would've caught this one if you had just emerged espeak. The problem is, the use flags do not include portaudio. Espeak uses portaudio to play the generated speech. Also, I think speech dispatcher works around this somehow, on debian I was able to use spd-say to make espeak talk, even though the version of portaudio I had tried to use at the time was bad.
