Please test this yourself before writing this!!
Hmm have you tried this with accessibility technology yourself?
Low latency is the most important thing if you are using speech-synthesizers
If this doesn't work you have problems like you press strg in orca and
it takes about a half sec to stop speech.
(padsp -> gnomespeech)

This is not usable by advanced users.
Perhaps it might be faster if the synth itself supports pulseaudio
natively.
Here is the problem.
There is not only espeak in use. So we need a general solution and not
another software between soundcard and speech synthesizer.

with regards
