Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
From @eeejay :
It would be useful to be able to start speech syntheses from e.g. flatpak/snap containers to isolate them. The Spiel approach allows to easily ship syntheses this way, and connect to them through dbus.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
We could add to the speechd core support for Spiel, in addition to the existing modules support. Basically, a new implementation alongside `output.c`.

Research direction
Start by reading the speechd core and output.c to understand how existing modules are supported. Then determine the required Spiel and D-Bus integration boundaries and how it should coexist with the current module support. Done means the core can start speech syntheses through Spiel, with coverage for the new behavior.
