[Bug 1025578] Re: espeak sound output very slow if bluez-alsa installed

[rduke15]

A workaround (in 12.04 LTS) is to send espeak output to stdout, and pipe
through paplay. This removes the delay and error messages.

    $ time echo hello|espeak
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    [... tons more error lines ...]

    real	0m22.684s
    user	0m0.036s
    sys	0m0.036s

    $ time echo hello | espeak --stdout | paplay

    real	0m1.106s
    user	0m0.000s
    sys	0m0.020s
