I compiled esound

http://penguinbait.com/esd.tgz

This will give you esdplay but it does not good as I can see


Install esdplay, which is part of the esound-clients package:

*

sudo apt-get install esound-clients

You need to configure festival so that it sends its output through ESD. Otherwise, you will get a can't open /dev/dsp error when you try to run Festival.

1.
edit
/home/user/festival/lib/festival.scm in a Terminal.
2.

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

*

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "/usr/local/bin/esdplay $FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'snd)

3.

Save the file.



It works
