speech-dispatcher rate and volume settings for espeak 1.25

[Hermann]

OK, what result do you expect? Is the synth too loud or too low?
If too loud, you can decrease the GenericAdd and GenericMultiply values - let's 
say to50.
If it's to low, you can change the default volume in speechd.conf to a 
value between 0 an 100.
Or you can try to change the values in the GenericExecute string in 
espeak-generic.conf. Instead of $VOLUME you can try to insert a specific 
value.
I guess you have to experiment a bit. I figured out my favorite values this 
way.
