add speaker support for `gtts-cli - | mpv -` #88

Closed LokiLuciferase closed 1 year ago

The speech quality of pico2wave is pretty bad, and I'm not keen on the heavy dependencies required by mimic.

This PR would thus add support for using gTTS, a light-weight wrapper around a public Google Translate API, as a speaker. It works in conjunction with mpv to actually play sound.
