I installed festival's deb and can SayText "hello" but nothing comes out the 
speakers.  A while back Seth even helped me and we could never get it up and 
running.  I think it's not pointing to the right irq or i/o port.  Seth had 
it reading Edger Allen Poe's "The Raven".  It was great.  He also had it 
reading web pages.  If you have any suggestion on how to get the sound for 
festival configured it would be great.    You could have it read warning to 
you.  How about reading your log files?  I just wish festival had a female 
voice like the computer on Star Trek.
