[Asterisk-Users] Festival sounds like a steam engine

[Iain Stevenson]

I tried running the festival app today with little success. I have a 
working festival installation that does TTS to the linux sound output 
perfectly.

With * it just produces a sort of hissing sound.  The length of hissing is 
proportional to the length of text string that it is given to speak.  Since 
I'm running on a PPC system I fear the dreaded endian problem is to blame 
and that app_festival may need changing.  Has anyone else experienced 
similar problems?
