In the log you posted, brltty looks like it's crashing just after the eSpeak speech driver started. Since you're saying that you're hearing it speak one thing, I'm guessing that that's where the crash is. I wonder why I'm suspecting a Pulse Audio crash. :-(
What happens if you specify the "no" speech driver. I bet brltty will stay running. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
