That won't help with selecting a voice with Espeak.  The way to select a 
voice when using Espeak with the Espeakup software is to start Espeakup 
with the "-V" parameter.  For example "espeakup -V us-english," will start 
with the US English voice.  Unfortunately, there is no way of changing 
voices within Speakup yet when using Espeak and Espeakup.
