just because sometime i'm kind... (my favorite sentence!)

Try this:

const gTTS = require('gtts');
var player = require('play-sound')(
  opts = {
    player: "mpg123" // use only `mpg123` for playing sounds
  }
);
var gtts = new gTTS('text to speak', 'es-es');

// main file player 
function playing (file) {
  player.play(file, (err) => {
    if (err) throw new Error(err)
  });
}

gtts.save('/tmp/hello.wav', (err, result) => {
  if(err) { throw new Error(err) }
  console.log('Success! start playing result.');
  // right ! sound file is created let's play it !
  playing("/tmp/hello.wav");
});

Notes:

• You need to install mpg123 app with sudo apt-get install mpg123
• I replace your play library by play-sound for better compatibility
  Don’t forget to install this library npm install play-sound
• You can see manual of play-sound library there

@sdetweil the problem is not there…
The problem is you can’t play a file when it’s not fully created!

2 solutions:
Make a promise
Or play the file when the file is created

Because I’m kind sometime…
