RFC: GStreamer eSpeak plugin, getting old

[James Cameron]

G'day,

I'm looking for general help from plugin experts.

The Sugar learning environment for children uses the GStreamer eSpeak
plugin, through PyGObject and command line;

    gst-launch-1.0 espeak text="hello world" ! autoaudiosink

The plugin works, but is really old code, has compilation warnings,
run-time warnings, and perhaps a few problems yet to be discovered.
The warnings are easy to reproduce.

Source repository is

    https://github.com/sugarlabs/gst-plugins-espeak

On Fedora the package is gstreamer-plugins-espeak.

On Debian and Ubuntu the package is gstreamer1.0-espeak.

Thanks for reading!
