I will reply here, but if you or anybody else have sisues with Speech 
Dispatcher, please email the Speech Dispatcher list, 
speechd lists freebsoft org, 
http://lists.freebsoft.org/mailman/listinfo/speechd, and I or someone else 
can help you out there, even if it involves Orca's use of Speech Dispatcher.

Once again Kendell, I would also respectfully ask you again to consider 
breaking your messages up into smaller paragraphs.

As per usual, my reply is inline.

Is this with espeak, espeak-ng, or both?

Nothing has been changed in Speech Dispatcher relating to espeak variants 
since the feature was introduced.

Ok, I haven't tested with espeak-ng myself, just made sure it built. Longer 
term I think we will make a separate espeak-ng driver such that changes that 
it specifically requires can be made without breaking original espeak 
functionality, both espeak-ng and espeak drivers are currently built from one 
source code file.
