Comment(by humitos):

 Similar old issue: #3453

  1. the '''espeak plugin for gstreamer''' is not available for 0.11
 gstreamer version. We have already installed espeak and espeak plugin for
 gstreamer, but the version installed is for gstreamer 1.0. So we get an
 exception when we try to get the pipeline: {{{no element "espeak"}}}
 {{{
 Installed Packages
 espeak.armv7hl -> 1.46.02-6.fc18
 gstreamer-plugins-espeak.armv7hl -> 0.4.0-1.fc18
 }}}
  1. So, the codes tries to handle that exception and use the comand
 "espeak" instead, but that command does not work on XO-4 13.1.0 build 18.
 Then, it fails and does not speak at all.
    * the command '''espeak''' does not work on XO-4 13.1.0 build 18
 {{{
 espeak: wave_pulse.cpp:691: size_t wave_write(void*, char*, size_t):
 Assertion `stream' failed.
 }}}
