I tested (building from git master in case of speechd to get all your recent
commits all at once) and they do, thanks for the fast fixes, with a small
reservation: voices of espeak-ng-mbrola are very fast by default.

If that matters I install espeak-ng-mbrola.conf but not
espeak-ng-mbrola-generic.conf

I made a call for wider testing:
