The first boot option should take you to the desktop, logged in as devuan.
The second option brings you to console, logged in as devuan on tty1-6.
Should I make the second option like the minimal live, logged in as root
on tty1 and as devuan on tty2-6? Trying that here, and I think it makes
sense for the two isos to work more or less the same.

I managed to combine them. You can still use card number or name. If you
use the name, the script will get the card number from aplay. It sets the
card in /etc/default/espeakup and /etc/asound.conf and restarts both
espeakup and alsa. It cleans up after itself, so you can run it multiple
times until you find the card that works. And if you tell it to use a card
that doesn't exist, it does nothing and exits with an error.

I put it on paste.debian.net here:

I'll add espeak-ng. You can turn off espeakup with 'service espeakup stop'
and then use espeak-ng for selective reading.

Is there anything else this iso needs? I'll make a new one with these
changes soon.

Make sure the usb is not disconnecting and reconnecting. Sometimes they do
that if they can wiggle in the port.
