It seems the best way would be to Suggest independent common interface
speech-dispatcher package and use spd-say command instead of Suggesting
festival or espeak and depend on particular speech synthesizer.
I will attach a patch next week and send it to Debian.

- OpenDict in Ubuntu should use espeak instead of festival as default TTS,
because espeak is included in default Ubuntu/Kubuntu CD and, also, festival is
moved to universe since Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).
- I've noticed, that it's very easy to make espeak as default TTS - we need
just change one line in /usr/share/opendict/lib/gui/prefswin.py file. I'm
attaching patch, which changes PRON_COMMAND to 'espeak "%s"' to this
bugreport. Please include this patch in Ubuntu OpenDict packages.

speech-dispatcher instead of festival as default TTS, because speech-dispatcher

bugreport. Please include this patch in Ubuntu OpenDict packages.
Users always will be able to change PRON_COMMAND to any other TTS command
through OpenDict preferences GUI, so, this is safe change.
