<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot get Festival to work with asterisk. I have
the following:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Festival seems to be running fine. For example if I
do:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>echo this is a test | --tts --language
english</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it works just fine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm starting festival from the script
festival_server and the logs shows no errors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to rename the festival directory to
festival-1.4.3 to apply the patch</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas what can the problem be?</FONT></DIV>
