Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If a speech synthesis hangs (because of some odd characters for instance, see https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/issues/857), speech completely stops, and one has to kill speech-dispatcher

Describe the solution you'd like speech-dispatcher should notice when a module is hung, and in that case kill&restart it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how speech dispatcher manages modules and implement a watchdog mechanism to detect hung modules and restart them.
