espeak doesn't respect system's volume about espeak-ruby HOT 8 CLOSED

Hey @utkarsh2102, so I think for this, it would be enough for the library to provide the amplitude option, mentioned in the command line options here, which you could then further use in your script.

@dejan it's just a matter of adding support for the -a option in the ESpeak::Speech module which I would be happy to do.
I hacked around a bit locally and the diff came out to look like the following:

Hi @dejan,

This is now available in just released v1.1.0.

Awesome, thank you very much! Can you please re-trigger the CI? It's weirdly failing on the last commit. :(

Hopefully just re-running the pipeline should suffice.

Hey @dejan, could you possibly take a look at this quick bug fix? This shall help us respect the system's volume whilst using the gem. TIA! :)
