For languages with non-Latin alphabets (eg. Cyrillic), don't allow a mixture of native and Latin characters in a word. Instead break it into separate words.

Fixed crash on re-initializing libespeak.
lang=hu, experimental, if the last two words of a clause (before punctuation) both have capital letters, then make the last word unstressed. This is useful for people names, but may be wrong for other cases.
lang=en-us, distinguish phonemes [aI@] and [aI3] (compare "diet", "tired").

Patch to fix a spike from Klatt function setzeroabc()

klatt.cpp: fix a sound spike in setzeroabc when f == 0.
If setzeroabc is passed f == 0, rp->a will be set to 0 and when
the coefficients get inverted (a'=1/a, b'=b/a, c'=c/a) then a',
b' and c' get set to INF. This results in an audible sound spike
when these resonators get used.
Found when investigating an issue in klatt with example1.par when
using the cascade synthesis mode.
Bug: https://github.com/rhdunn/klatt/issues/1.
Added runtime detection of pulseaudio, with fallback to portaudio if pulse is not running. Use build option "AUDIO=runtime" in the makefile.
Phoneme programs. Added condition "isTranslationGiven" to test whether a phoneme has been specified explicitly for a word in *_list.
*_rules files. Suffix rules are now considered only if there is a previous vowel in the word.

Keep the original voice variant across SSML xml:lang changes.
Use the original language sub-type (eg. en-sc) when SSML xml:lang changes to a compatible language.

Amplitude changes now apply also to mbrola voices.
"voicing" attribute is now used in mbrola voice files to set the voice loudness.
SSML commands such as <mark> and <prosody> were ignored if they were inside a multiword group (defined in *_list). This is now fixed so that the command is processed at the end of the group.

-x command-line option. Fixed possible buffer overflow when writing phoneme output.
Slavic languages, changed behaviour of [v] during voiced/unvoiced propagation.
