Works, but in the stable version of Portaudio 19, Alsa support doesn't 
work. I tried the last portaudio19-development svn build. Alsa is 
working fine here, but same crashes as with the ubuntu portaudio 
package. So, I think it's a bug in either eSpeak or Portaudio, any thaughts?

It would be really nice to have eSpeak working with alsa, because I'm 
running this on a laptop with a crappy intel/realtek hd-audio soundcard 
which doesn't support hardware mixing.
