Hola gente, hoy me hice un rato para probar festival en la xo.
Todo funciona perfecto, los paquetes necesarios están disponibles para
instalarlos en la xo.

Cambiar la funcionalidad de espeak por festival en aplicaciones sugar es
muy sencillo, pero antes es necesario que incluyan en la imagen de sugar
los siguientes paquetes:

gstreamer-tools
festival-speechtools-libs-1.2.96-21.fc18.i686
festival-lib-1.96-21.fc18.i686
festvox-slt-artic-hts-0.20061229-21.fc18.noarc
festival-1.96-21.fc18.i686
