Gustav,
Yeah, I think the missing bits were the Debug 1 in espeak.conf file. I had
that here but forgot to mention it originally. Also, the extra details are
in the espeak.log not speech-dispatcher.log it seems. The one you sent was
empty, but that's probably because of the missing Debug 1 in there. Once
that's in place it should give a bunch of this kind of details.
thanks,
Jeremy
