Because sd_generic is what it is, a Generic module,
not specific for a given synthesizer. It splits text
for two reason: 1) To be able to handle pause/resume,
2) So that it doesn't take more time to start speaking
a long text than a short text.

It starts a new process every time because it's its
basic design. The generic module doesn't know of
whether espeak supports SSML or can handle long texts,
can deliver audio in a better way...

This is what the native modules are for. So if we need
a more advanced behavior than what generic does
(which is by design only very simple), we need to fix
the native module or create a new native module.

A native module can also use paplay externally if this
is what we decide for, just it will be specific for espeak,
not generic, which is what you actually ask for.
