Both systems call espeak with their own respective modules.  The
configuration files have basically the same parameters so espeak
doesn't change in default behavior.  As an extra side note here, I
thought OpenTTS supports the Klatt Options for Espeak; not sure if
speech dispatcher does yet or not.  Recall that later versions of
Espeak allows some variations to the voice to get those other sounds.
I forget the exact parms right now but speech dispatcher 0.6.7 does
not support them; I did it originally with espeakup.

Same as before.

It hasn't on my machine.  Plus the elimination of so many memory leaks
ot to benefit all of us.
