you really do not want to upgrade to alsa-lib 1.1.2

Mike,
It might be a similar issue on the Speech Dispatcher side.  They're not
directly related, since Speech Dispatcher uses its own audio output
code, rather than letting espeak handle audio output on its own.  If you
started noticing new and unexpected sd_espeak crashes after upgrading
your alsa library, then Speech Dispatcher's alsa code may not be playing
well with the new library either.
