Hi,
during say all in virtual buffers using Bulgarian voice in eSpeak, when NVDA encounters a word with all caps, which is at the beginning of the line, that causes an error:

ERROR - synthDrivers._espeak.callback (02:28:01):
callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "synthDrivers_espeak.pyc", line 127, in callback
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'W\x8b\x04nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn'
ERROR - unhandled exception (02:28:01):

I can't reproduce this using English voice, but the Bulgarian voice reads latin text as English, so it won't be a problem for you to test it.

For example:
Go to vinuxproject.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=36
Go to first heading: 15/03/2012 Vinux 3.0.2 now Released!
Activate Say All.
When you reach "USB install script included." you should hear the error sound.
In some cases, the capitalized word is skipped, in other - the whole line is skipped, which is worst.
Also, the reading speed is reduced sometimes.

Onece the Voice Settings Dialog is opened, the reading speed is going back to normal.

I've just made another test: The same is happening when using Russian voice, except of slowing voice. So may be there are other voices affected.
