espeak speech output does not work

[antenna]

Speech output with espeak seems not to work since a few svn updates.

OS: ubuntu lucid lynx 64 bit Svn 4471

[me.yahoo.com/a/mxotqsqhhcwj4acyk6aomkoami9p5a--#a28cb]

same problem under Gentoo x86_64.
seems like navit stops interpreting the string as string at the pipe and the input of the pipe is redirected to the shell where navit is spawned.
example:
<speech type="cmdline" data="espeak --stdout -vnl+f4 '%s' | aplay -" cps="15"/>
is producing a lot of binary code in the shell,
running 'navit | aplay -' outputs the correct speech

<speech type="cmdline" data="aplay -r 44100 /home/ion/.navit/plopp.wav | espeak -vmb-de5 -s '140' -p '50' '%s'| mbrola -e /usr/share/mbrola/de5 - - | aplay -r22050 -fs16 &amp;" />

I think the modification responsible is ticket # 4459

There is no difference between using espeak and piping the content to mbrola and to aplay or using an espeak version above 1.44, which includes mbrola.
