[PATCH 0/2] Add eSpeak |

These patches provide the eSpeak software speech synthesizer [0].
I need advice on what audio system to configure it to use.
This patch configures it to use PulseAudio if it is available, and to
use PortAudio otherwise. Of course, since I have included PulseAudio as
an input, PulseAudio is always available and it starts a PulseAudio
server if one is not running [1].
The other option is to use only PortAudio (tested and works for me).
I guess the factors are:
1) Does GuixSD have a default audio setup that we should target? If
GuixSD uses PulseAudio, then I think it would be good for eSpeak to be
integrated into that sytem.
2) Does this package, which launches PulseAudio, work for anyone on a
foreign distro?
Can GuixSD users with audio please test it out? As well as users on
foreign distros? You can do so like this:
`espeak 'hello world'`

http://espeak.sourceforge.net/
[1] This is actually not the expected behaviour and I am going to file a
bug. The Makefile reads "'runtime' uses pulseaudio if it is running,
else uses portaudio". Instead, it starts PulseAudio on demand.
