using speakup with festival or flite

[Doug Sutherland]

Lorenzo,

I'm not sure what would be wrong. Can you test festival
independent of speakup? Can you boot using external synth
and then run festival from the command line and make it
speak properly? Did the speakup patches apply with no
errors? Try using festival_server instead of the --server
flag. Owen mentioned that it's different. I think you can
tweak the configuration settings using that script.
