[Asterisk-Users] asterisk & festival problem.

[Juan J. Sierralta P.]

Hi,

	I´m trying to get app_festival to work. I got the source from the
Debian woody package of festival-1.4.2 and applied the patch that came
with * sources it applied fine; then I made the debian package and
installed it.
	I have this on extensions.conf:

exten => 6700,1,Festival(Hi there how are you doing ?)

	When I dial 6700 I hear nothing and then * hangups:

-- Executing Festival("SIP/8991-943b", "Hi there how are you doing ?")
in new stack
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/festival.conf':   == Parsing
'/etc/asterisk/festival.conf': Found
  == Spawn extension (local, 6700, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/8991-943b

	The log messages shows the following:

Oct  8 13:05:22 WARNING[22546]: File app_festival.c, Line 304
(festival_exec): Text passed to festival server : Hi there how are you
doing ?
Oct  8 13:05:22 WARNING[22546]: File app_festival.c, Line 381
(festival_exec): Passing text to festival...
Oct  8 13:05:22 WARNING[22546]: File app_festival.c, Line 400
(festival_exec): Passing data to channel...
Oct  8 13:05:22 WARNING[22546]: File app_festival.c, Line 410
(festival_exec): Festival WV command


	So everything shows fine but I still cannot hear a thing. Also I tested
with festival_client executing the same command (tts_textasterisk "bla
bla" 'file) and I got a file in NIST format (8 Khz) which I converted to
WAV and played it just fine.
	Any ideas ?
