If you have portaudio-19-6.fc10, espeak should just work with PulseAudio. As
I did the fix for portaudio, I'm highly interested in any issues with it.

I cannot reproduce this here (pulseaudio-0.9.10-2.fc9.i386,
portaudio-19-6.fc9.i386, espeak-1.31-5.fc9.i386), at least not from the
command line. espeak "Welcome to Orca" works just fine, the "ca" doesn't
get truncated.

Unfortunately, I can't test Orca because of:

I also found another Orca bug while testing this:

Nor can I reproduce this. I can try on my laptop which already runs F10.
