Portaudio just made a release candidate.
It includes the patch from Alan Horstmann which fixes the lockups we've
been having.
I'm testing the release candidate right now.
If anyone else wants to test it, here's a direct link:

If you've been using the LIBASOUND_THREAD_SAFE=0 workaround when
starting espeakup, you'll want to remove it, so that you're actually
testing the fix.
No I'm not trying to be condescending.  It's the kind of thing I
sometimes forget about, so just throwing out a friendly reminder.
