Same for me on karmic, don't have a bluetooth adapter so I can not test if enabling the service helps.

espeak:
  Installed: 1.41.01-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.41.01-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.41.01-0ubuntu1 0

The speech is cut short using espeak directly on the terminal but when using speech-dispatcher setup to use pulse the speech is rendered correctly.

When alsa is specified with speech-dispatcher usind spd-conf there is no espeak sound output on karmic.
