Those using kttsd (KDE's Text To Speech Daemon), for example, to let the konversation IRC client speak received messages[1], may want to avoid running the festival server with all its voices twice.
The attached perl program "festival-server" pretends to be
"festival --server" and hands all messages over to kttsd (via
dcop), which sends them to the already running festival.
Usage:
$ festival-server
m.
[1] that's easy: under "Settings->Configure Notifications..."
choose "Execute a program" (the gear symbol in the leftmost
column) with "/home/foo/bin/konversation-event %e %s" as
program, and let that script use dcop to write to kttsd:
$ dcop kttsd kspeech sayMessage "hello computer" ""
Script on request. :-)
