Voxin voices work great, espeak not so much in Ubuntu 9.04 x64

I'm running the latest code for atk, at-spi, orca, and compiz. I also
have upgraded from the proposed repository. I have found that the old
IBM Viavoice speech engine works great with pulseaudio and Gnome
Speech Services, when using the IBM Viavoice GNOME Speech Driver.
However, the espeak driver still gets cut off and choppy, and is
basically unusable.
I would recommend to anyone out there who prefers Viavoice over espeak
to just install it, and don't bother removing pulseaudio or installing
speech-dispatcher to get espeak working.
