 Espeak needs OSS emulation if it is linked against Portaudio 18.  If it is
 linked against Portaudio 19, then it uses the native ALSA api.

 I'm not sure which version the XO has.  If Portaudio 19 is being used,
 then a recent version from svn should be used or the speech server may
 lock up.  Until recently, portaudio was calling snd_pcm_drain when
 recovering from a xrun, and snd_pcm_drain can lock up if dmix is used
 (unless this was fixed very recently).  Portaudio 19 currently works
 around this by calling snd_pcm_drop instead of snd_pcm_drain.
