Espeak module and punctuation in the KEY command

Hello,

I discovered an interesting problem.  It appears with the espeak output
module.  The KEY command is silent for most punctuation keys.  Try the
following SSIP  commands:

SET self OUTPUT_MODULE espeak
KEY a
KEY .
KEY ,
KEY =
KEY [
KEY '
KEY ;
KEY :
BYE

Only a, dot, equals and colon are read.  Strangely enough, different
characters are read when I switch to Czech language:

SET self OUTPUT_MODULE espeak
SET self SYNTHESIS_VOICE cs
KEY a
KEY .
KEY ,
KEY =
KEY [
KEY '
KEY ;
KEY :
BYE

This produces a, dot and colon (pronounced in Czech).

Best regards, Tomas
