espeakup Shouldn't Presume Pulseaudio

The latest Espeak I have, version 1.46.02, appears to insist on using
pulse audio if it finds pulse installed on the system. In other words,
commands like:

pasuspender espeak hello

do not have the intended effect.

This is wrong, very wrong. And, it wreaks havoc between Speakup and
Orca. Where to direct audio output should at least be a configurable
option, but most certainly not the result of some inbuilt huristic.
