[Asterisk-Users] Festival Issues

[Darryl Ross]

Hey All,

I now have Festival compiled, installed and running using the instructions on the Wiki page.

When I try to change the voice that is being used however, I am running into a problem. I get 
the following in the festival server log:

Cannot open file /tmp/est_10877_00000/utt.wav as tokenstream
Wave load: can't open file "/tmp/est_10877_00000/utt.wav"
Cannot load wavefile: /tmp/est_10877_00000/utt.wav

When I look in the /tmp/est_10877_00000 folder, while the sound file is still playing according 
to Asterisk, the following seems to be created:

total 56
drwxr-xr-x    2 darryl   users        4096 Aug 19 16:28 .

-rw-r--r--    1 darryl   users       23411 Aug 19 16:28 utt.feats

I've tried setting a number of different voices. Some don't give any audio and some only seem 
to give a small 'blip' of sound.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Darryl
