Progress report:
If pulseaudio is started system-wide before espeakup, it works:
- The system speaks to asks me my credentials.
- Thle line is also displayed in tty12.
- Then I can press PrtScr on the laptop to stop espeak and type startx.
- I have speech on the desktop, also displayed on tty12
- I can then switch to e.g. /dev/tty4 with PrtScr, log in again and have
  speech. I still can toggle speakup on/off. All go also to tty12.
- I can go back to the deskop with Ctrl+Alt+F7 keeping speech.

Only caveat: I am aware that running pulseaudio system wide is
discouraged including for security reasons. Any advice to avoid that or
at least increase security while doing it is very welcome.

Thanks,

Didier
