Experimental Fedora packages for Speech Dispatcher, speechd-up and festival-freebsoft-utils

[Guy Schlosser]

Can someone help with ALSA?  I'm trying to install speech dispatcher and 
speech-dup.  I have festival installed, but when I issue the command for 
saying "Hello, hello", I don't get any sound.  I have a on-board Realtek 
(ac97) sound chip, and from what I can tell with alsamixer, everything 
is turned up to max.  Also, I am reeeeeally anxious to run Orca.  Do I 
have to perform a reformat/reinstall when I upgrade to 6, or can I just 
upgrade the packages?  Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Guy
P.S. I'm definitely interested in getting a viavoice RPM.  How much does 
it cost and where can I get it superquick?
