This is the code that I cobbled together from your post,
https://askubuntu.com/questions/60837 and
https://aweirdimagination.net/2020/07/19/virtual-microphone-using-gstreamer-and-pulseaudio/

pactl load-module module-combine-sink \
sink_name=Web_Speech_Sink slaves=$(pacmd list-sinks | grep -A1 "* index" |
grep -oP "<\K[^ >]+") \
sink_properties=device.description="Web_Speech_Stream" \
format=s16le \
channels=1 \
rate=22050

pactl move-sink-input $(pacmd list-sink-inputs|tac|perl
-E'undef$/;$_=<>;/speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng.*?index: (\d+)\n/s;say $1')
Web_Speech_Sink

pactl load-module module-remap-source \ master=Web_Speech_Sink.monitor \
source_name=Web_Speech_Monitor \
source_properties=device.description=Web_Speech_Output

Using this approach I am able to capture output from only
speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng module using

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio: true})
.then(async stream => {
  const [track] = stream.getAudioTracks();
  const devices = await navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices();
  const device = devices.find(({label}) => label === 'Web_Speech_Output');
  track.stop();
  console.log(devices, device);
  return navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio: {deviceId: {exact:
device.deviceId}}});
})
.then(stream => {
  const recorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
  recorder.ondataavailable = e => console.log(URL.createObjectURL(e.data));
  const synth = speechSynthesis;
  const u = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('test, test, then test again');
  u.onstart = e => {
    recorder.start();
    console.log(e);
  }
  u.onend = e => {
    recorder.stop();
    recorder.stream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop());
    console.log(e);
  }
  synth.speak(u);
});

Can the pactl and pacmd code be reduced?
