Created attachment 696757 [details] Proposed fix sent upstream There is no error checking in the libespeak and the espeak binary which can result in such cores. Reproducer: kill pulseaudio by e.g.: # echo "autospawn = no" >> /etc/pulse/client.conf && pkill pulseaudio run espeak by e.g.: $ echo hi | espeak Attached fix is an effort to add such checking and not breaking the libespeak API/ABI. Patch sent upstream, waiting for reply.
