Package: festival
Version: 1:2.1~release-1
Severity: normal
Thank you very much for maintaining Debian's
festival package.
It's impressive and handy.
I happened to notice that it hangs on the
following, at least for me:
$ echo team ... them. Tonight? 3? and. Knicks? SILENTLY HANGS HERE |
festival --language americanenglish --tts
After I press enter, but before it starts
speaking, it issues the following warning:
PAUSE command ignored (no hw support)
I've read some reports that associate the above
warning with alsa.
I recently upgraded both festival and alsa.
It didn't hang with previous versions and the
same hardware.
For what it's worth, flite works:
$ echo team ... them. Tonight? 3? and. Knicks? SILENTLY HANGS HERE | flite
Thanks,
Kingsley
