Re: [orca-list] Orca speaks extra dot character

Thanks for looking into this!

For me, I don't hear the dot with

  espeak-ng -v en-us -m '<speak><tts:style field="punctuation" 
mode="none">autogen.sh.</tts:style></speak>'

  espeak-ng -v en-us -m '<speak><tts:style field="punctuation" 
mode="some">autogen.sh.</tts:style></speak>'

  speak-ng -v en-us -m '<speak><tts:style field="punctuation" 
mode="most">autogen.sh.</tts:style></speak>'

I'm using eSpeak NG text-to-speech: 1.49.2. So perhaps it's a regression?

Since I cannot reproduce the problem (and don't have time at the moment 
to build and install espeak-ng) it would be great if someone who can 
reproduce the problem could file the bug.

Thanks again!
