Enable text-to-speech support #23

ScummVM has a little know accessibility feature where some games can use system TTS to voice game dialog. Would it be possible to enable it on Flatpak version?

Thanks, I will try looking at this when I have some free time.

This would be a nice idea!

However, adding TTS inside the Flatpak might be not exactly easy. E.g. for the Ubuntu Snap, I had to do quite some trickery to launch an speech-dispatcher instance just before launching ScummVM. I did this by providing a wrapper script, you can check it out here: https://github.com/snapcrafters/scummvm/blob/master/scripts/bin/scummvm-launch.sh
