Regarding the pulse audio output (pulse.c), when the stop command 
occurs, the first step is to wait that the internal audio buffer has 
been drained. So the bigger the buffer, the longer the user waits.

As a try, Halim, can you use the following values in your espeak.conf file.
Do you notice an improvement?
Does the result become acceptable for you?

The numeric values below are as example the original ones divided by 2:
EspeakAudioOutputMethod "pulse"
EspeakPulseMaxLength 66150
EspeakPulseTargetLength 2205
EspeakPulsePreBuffering 1100
EspeakPulseMinRequest 440
