OK, at least I've got the following workaround now: I hand the text over to espeak as a normal C character array. In fact, it turned out that the texts (I read from a database) are UTF-8-encoded, so that I don't even have to convert them into a wide string: unsigned int spoken_message_uuid = 0; espeak_ERROR Speak (string text) { espeak_ERROR error = EE_OK; unsigned int *uuid = &spoken_message_uuid; const char *input = text.c_str (); cout << "Speaking text:" << endl << input << endl; error = espeak_Synth...

No use! The errors persist with ver. 1.50 from the Debian Buster backports repo.

Artifacts around sharp edges

What I've found out, is that no PLAYMSF command appears in the output of strace. I can't even find a child process spawned by cdcd. But the CD does spin in the drive.
