[Sugar-devel] espeak in gst 0.10 on 13.1.0

Hello,

I took a look at this issue[1] and I found that it's not possible to
get the "espeak" gstreamer element on 13.1.0 os7 using gst 0.10 but
it's available using Gst 1.0 (from gi.repository import Gst). However,
there is no package called something like "gstreamer1-plugins-espeak"
installed but there is one called gstreamer-plugins-espeak[2]

So, I'm a little confused:

 * Is "espeak" available on 13.1.0 for gst 0.10?

 * Is "gstreamer-plugins-espeak" for gst 0.10 and the version for Gst
1.0 is inside on one of these? (already installed in the build os7):
     * gstreamer1-1.0.1-1.fc18.i686
     * gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.0.1-1.fc18.i686
     * gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.0.1-1.fc18.i686

Anyway, I think this activity should work without "espeak" gstreamer
element because it has a workaround to use the "/usr/bin/espeak"
command, save the text into a wav file and finally play it. But for
some reason (that I couldn't find yet) the same version (Speak v42)
works properly on 12.1.0 but it doesn't work on 13.1.0.
