Kind of annoying the developers of "say" didn't consider this scenario. After
all , the whole point of having a command line speech utility is for it to
be controlled by another process, its not much use on its own other than
5 mins of novelty value!

I assume that their intent is that if you are doing anything remotely
serious, you will use their API.  The "say" program was probably a 15 minute
effort by whoever developed the API; I doubt much thought went into it
other than as a quick "proof of concept".

Yes, things like this are annoying.
