Package: festival Version: 1.96~beta-10 Severity: important Hello,
I am runnign a linux box, and a server that are headless. so it is important that festival can select itself alsa preferably of /dev/dsp. If someone is using the /dev/dsp then nothing works, adn that could be important issue or result in desaster if people use server headless and rely on festival. here the .festivalrc (Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR $FILE") (Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command) Please use alsa so that everyone knows how to use festival and not be frustrated as first try of festival: as seen here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=40548 Forums are good for debugging.
