Yes. I like the possibility of using not only espeak but festival too,
but right now will be add another dependency.

I  have heard very nice examples of Festival voices,
but I have tried using Festival from the python api of speech-dispatcher
without success.

In F16 if I do:

[gonzalo at nautilus honey]$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 27 2011, 01:40:22)
[GCC 4.6.1 20111003 (Red Hat 4.6.1-10)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
...
>>> import speechd
>>> client = speechd.SSIPClient('test')
>>> client.list_output_modules()
('espeak', 'dummy')

I have installed:

[root at nautilus /]# rpm -qa | grep festival
festival-freebsoft-utils-0.10-2.fc15.noarch
festival-1.96-18.fc16.x86_64
festival-speechtools-libs-1.2.96-18.fc16.x86_64
festival-lib-1.96-18.fc16.x86_64

[root at nautilus /]# rpm -qa | grep speech
speech-dispatcher-0.7.1-6.fc16.x86_64
festival-speechtools-libs-1.2.96-18.fc16.x86_64
speech-dispatcher-python-0.7.1-6.fc16.x86_64

Do you know if I need install anything more?
