Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If the speech-dispatcher daemon gets auto-spawned from the client library, and crashes, it does not get re-auto-spawned.

Describe the solution you'd like The client library should auto-respawn it.

Describe alternatives you've considered One can also use the systemd socket unit, but better fix auto-spawn too.
