Hi, I've been able to reproduce this bug. A not-very-helpful workaround is to restart espeakup whenever sound goes missing.
I've dug into the issue a bit and found it discussed on pulseaudio-discuss back in 2010. The discussion on the thread seems to indicate that espeakup and pulseaudio couldn't coexist at the time due to espeakup not being multi-seat aware. Lennart summarised what needs to be done to get them working together[0]. I'm not sure what the situation is now. Looking briefly at espeakup upstream [1], it doesn't seem to be very active, so maybe the situation is the same?
