[Asterisk-Users] App_festival crashing

[Borut Senicar]

Hi all,

I'm unable to put app_festival to work. I successfully patched,
installed and tested festival (interactive logon and telnet to server
port) which seems to work without problems. 

But when I test it in asterisk I got the following trace in console:

    -- Executing Answer("SIP/bsenicar-850b", "") in new stack
    -- Executing SayDigits("SIP/bsenicar-850b", "123") in new stack
    -- Playing 'digits/1'
    -- Playing 'digits/2'
    -- Playing 'digits/3'
    -- Executing Festival("SIP/bsenicar-850b", "Connect to Festival") in
new stack

  == Spawn extension (home-trusted, 1000, 3) exited non-zero on
'SIP/bsenicar-850b'

In festival.conf I enabled all 5 default options and my extensions.conf
looks like this:

[home-trusted]
exten => 1000,1,answer
exten => 1000,2,SayDigits(123)
exten => 1000,3,Festival(Connect to Festival)
exten => 1000,4,Wait(5)
exten => 1000,5,Festival(send the argument)
exten => 1000,6,Hangup

Cache file is created but playback to channel doesn't work correctly.

I'm running Asterisk CVS-09/23/03-23:16:24

I also noticed that parsing of festival.conf in app_festival.c is done
incorrectly for usecache.

On line 281 of app_festival.c 

usecache = ast_true(temp);

value of usecache config entry is tested with ast_true function, which
returns -1 if value is (yes, y, t or 1). For that reason cache is never
used.

Correct line should be:

usecache = ast_true(temp)==-1;

Thanks in advance.
