I don't know, I'm just an end user in this area as you are.

alsa-oss doesn't install any kernel modules. It's user-level OSS
emulation. Unlike OSS emulation in kernel alsa-oss cooperates with ALSA
libraries, so it works with dmix.

The Festival server forks on each connection in order to prevent
conflicts between separate connections.

The language code for Spanish is not present in the language-codes
Festival variable. Look into festival-freebsoft-utils source and/or
read festival-freebsoft-utils documentation to figure out how to fix it.
