This has highlighted a couple of issues with speakup.
I have had a recent issue with loss of speech in espeakup and have used 
an apollo.
It seems impossible to unload the speakup_soft module and when the 
apollo is connected, alternative letters are spoken via espeak and the 
apollo.

I believe this issue was reported on this list some time ago and I am 
now able to confirm the findings.

Debian buster updated on 9th October 2018.

There is also an issue whether espeak stops working randomly although 
speakup does not crash.
