[BRLTTY] Speech stops with espeak-ng

[kendell clark]

hi

I've been trying to track this bug down for months, although I didn't 
know if it was espeak ng or brltty, I thought it was just my lack of 
knowledge and I was configuring it wrong. I've been trying to add 
console speech to the linux distribution I help develop, called sonar, 
using brltty but eventually had to give up, because  manjaro, the linux 
distribution we're now a part of, uses espeak ng now exclusively for ... 
I think well over a year. If this can be fixed in brltty or espeak ng, 
whichever is the cause I'll gladly pick the effort back up again.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
