Maybe ;(

Did you try with a up-to-date Debian OS ? :

sudo apt-get install espeak-ng

Does it install espeak-ng ?

> Suggestion: build and install it from source. 

Yes, I did it already.  And after (lot of) tips, espeak-ng was working.
I did many test espeak vs espeak-ng (executable).
Also test using only libraries.

Now, after un-installing espeak and espeak-ng, I did try, like common user,
to install the binaries (not compiling all) on a virgin system.

And with my system (maybe broken):

sudo apt-get install espeak  -----> Ok, espeak is installed.
sudo apt-get install espeak-ng  -----> NOT Ok, espeak-ng package not found.

Huh,  on my maybe broken system,  I get:
"http://espeak.sourceforge.net is not accessible"

Strange indeed...

Hum, nice (but no comparaison with the huge number of cross-platform that
Portaudio can do).

Ok, ok, you win, I will study espeak-ng more deeply.

Yes my ears are very strange...

Thanks Martin.
