There's a remarkable aversion to looking at source code in this
thread.  :)

Speak.activity/espeak_cmd.py:

import espeak
...
    def speak(self, status, text):
        subprocess.call(["espeak", "-w", wavpath, "-p", str(status.pitch),
                "-s", str(rate), "-v", status.voice.name, text],
                stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

- Chris.
