It is answered but * just drops the connection when reached Festival
application in dialplan:

[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

Trace from console:

Somebody suggested that enclosing arguments with single quotes will
help, but in case result was same.
