The eSpeak binary only supports pulseaudio or portaudio. IIUC, portaudio should work with ALSA. To enable portaudio, make needs to be invoked with either |AUDIO=runtime| (pulseaudio or portaudio) or |AUDIO=portaudio|. If that does not work, you can try building/using Cainteoir Text-to-Speech (https://github.com/rhdunn/cainteoir-engine) which supports eSpeak and ALSA. NOTE: The above command would be: echo "Hello World" | cainteoir It also supports many different document formats like HTML, RTF, ePub and PDF. There is also a GTK+ GUI available (https://github.com/rhdunn/cainteoir-gtk).
