I'm using espeak on Ubuntu with a USB soundcard with no problem. Are
you sure that your sound card works? It may be related to an Angstrom
problem.

Try to test a sound card using aplay and any wav file first

Earlier when I was using Angstrom, I ended up having to download and build Espeak, but when I converted to the Debian versions, I could install it as you mentioned. 

However the PCM I believe is always defaulting to output to the HDMI sound.  To get it to work with a USB sound card I plugged in, I found I needed to edit a sound configuration file: Here is what I have:

kurt@BeagleBone:~$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default sysdefault:Device
