Punctuation with Espeak

I've been trying to use speechd-el within emacs, speech-dispatcher and
espeak.  Basically, the combo is working pretty well but I can't enable
any detailed punctuation.  Now keep in mind that Speakup delivers
punctuation beautifully through speechd and speech-dispatcher but that
is probably due to internal interpretation, I'm betting.  Some of my
testing of passing litteral strings directly into espeak revealed that
punctuation characters like parens, semicolons, number signs get
squashed.  Is there any way to bring those out? I can't seem to find any
controls to pass to espeak to expose punctuation marks.  Once I get the
punctuation deal worked out, speechd-el will be another tool to use
along side Speakup when running emacs special apps like calendar and
dired.  In fact, I was using speakup and speechd-el at the same time and
it was really cool.  I just turned speakup off so I could use speechd-el
and any time I wanted to read the current line or spell out the current
word or review punctuation marks:), I could use the reading commands
from speakup with no conflicts over the sound device or any of that.

So, any ideas on the espeak punctuation situation?  Thanks.
