[quoted lines by Sebastian Humenda on 2016/09/26 at 20:42 +0200]

>I've done so. I'll send you the log file off-list.

Thanks. I think I've figured it out. Please test the attached patch 
(speech-crash-1.patch). Remember to remove your patch, too. I think this 
explains other speech start failure crashes, too.

>The manual page mentions numbers for -l, 

Those are the actual syslog values. They go from 0 up to 7, with a larer value 
meaning more verbosity. Really, they're just still supported for old time's 
sake.

>but does not explain the options debug or speech. Could this be added? 

Yes, the help for -l could be extended with explanations. It'd make the output 
kind of huge, though.

>I'm looking for an option to log any keyboard-related events, if possible.

Use kbdkeys for your keyboard, and use brlkeys for your braille device.
