- **Enhanced OpenAI Engine Initialization:**
- Added optional parameters: `instructions`, `debug`, `speed`, `response_format`, and `timeout`.
- Updated available voices to include "ash", "coral", and "sage".
- **Note:** The `speed` and `timeout` parameters are not working at the moment; unclear why - they are being submitted to the API.
- **Text-to-Stream Improvements:**
- Introduced an `error_flag` to track errors during playback.
- Set the synthesis worker thread as daemon to ensure proper thread termination.
- **Dependency Update:**
- Upgraded the OpenAI package from version 1.66.3 to 1.68.2.
