I'm wondering if anybody has done anything with tiflolibros
www.tiflolibros.com.ar/
You have to register and give proof of disability to get books (most of 
them Spanish) but I'm not sure if the format of the books is a text file 
of some kind that theta or festival could read or an audio file and since 
they don't mention linux I don't know if there are any problems 
downloading, though the downloads are apparently zip files which should 
not in and of themselves be a problem.
Also, they had something up to which one could listen, using wmp. When I 
tried it on mplayer on this machine I got the start of cache fill and it 
looked like it was going to work; then I was told mplayer had crashed due 
to poor use of cpu, but since I play all sorts of other things with 
mplayer I wonder if it's this machine's setup or something else. Haven't 
tried it on my laptop yet, where I just recently freshly installed mplayer 
and a bunch of codecs. If somebody has time, could you check out either of 
the two urls below and see whether you can play them.
Thanks.
