I agree fully.  Apparently, I'm not alone in this, either.  There is a 
version of Gnome for Slackware Linux called GSB.  The previous two 
versions included Pulseaudio.  I always had to find some way to disable it 
in order to use both Espeak and have sounds.  The current version ditched 
Pulseaudio completely, and includes Espeak as one of its packages.  I 
wouldn't even have messed with Gnome in Slackware 13.1 if they hadn't 
decided to do this.  I hope others will soon follow this trend.  If 
everybody drops Pulseaudio, either the developer will get the message, or 
it will be abandoned.
