espeak-ng on archlinux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello there,

I haven't created any espeak-ng.service file to make systemd start it at
boot, when speech-dispatcher starts, espeak-ng starts as well or something.
I used arch's new guided install script, or archinstall, which simplified a
lot of things for me.
I tried with pulseaudio and pipewire and it worked no matter what.
I just use pipewire because I find it more likable.
Best regards.
francisco.
