This is good!

Jonathan, which way of distribution would you prefer from the
eSpeak side?

Yes. The main task of Speech Dispatcher is management
of messages and the TTS systems. All processing done on
the message text (input) or audio data (output) has a status of
emulations.

So if a TTS can produce very fast speech, we should definitely use
the native capabilities provided by the synthesizer.
