Fix Flextalk buzz: REG_DWORD speaker settings; measured pitch/speed mapping; fixed-gain normalization

 MSTTS variants), reads `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICE`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` (multiplier) and
 `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` (semitones), starts Xvfb when `DISPLAY` is unset, and writes a
 48 kHz mono s16le WAV trimmed, faded and normalized to about -16 LUFS (-3 dBFS true peak).
-Flextalk voices ignore pitch (engine limitation) and are declared with the `no-pitch`
-flag; everything else maps as documented in `docs/TTS-DESIGN.md`.
+Speed and pitch apply to every voice (Flextalk's numeric settings must be `REG_DWORD`,
+which the setup script writes). Mapping details are in `docs/TTS-DESIGN.md`.

 - `xvfb-run` is flaky on this host. `setup/run.sh` starts a persistent Xvfb
   (`:77`) instead; Wine needs a working X display because the runtime creates
   windows.
-- Flextalk ignores pitch entirely (byte-identical output at any pitch setting); use speed.
-  The host now leaves pitch/speed untouched unless passed, so voices use their own profile.
+- Flextalk numeric speaker settings must be `REG_DWORD` (the installer script handles
+  this); `REG_SZ` values cause a monotone buzz. Pitch and speed work on all voices.
 - The Flextalk archive lacks `data2.cab`; `unshield -O` extracts `data1.cab`
