apt is telling you that it cannot find freetts, a dependency of altos , and that's because there isn't a prebuilt *buntu package. This I know because:
I search launchpad.net for such *buntu questions. Here's the relevant info; < https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetts/1.2.2-3 > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetts/1.2.2-3 I have had no problems using the pre-built altos packages on ubuntu 10.10 btw, so an audio problem should be related to not having freetts installed. I have freetts installed, so I am pretty sure I did it by either using deb-buildpackage on the files you will find either at git.gag.com OR at the link above. (I might have also found a debian pre-built package (which should work because it is a java package...) I also have had no problems (to date) building the stuff from source, including the mac and microsoft platform stuff on the ubuntu box. Again I have freetts (and the other deps) installed.
