It's not possible to know what the problem is when more than one component is 
changed at the same time. It's doubtful that brltty's espeak speech driver is 
at fault since it hasn't been changed (unless, maybe, the original version was 
very old).

Please first test brltty's latest espeak speech driver with espeak rather than 
with espeak-ng.

One possibility, for example, is that espeak defaults to some amount of 
expressiveness whereas espeak-ng defaults to no expressiveness.
