I tried using flite a few times... It creates Wav files correctly, but sounds somewhere between a mosquito to a chipmunk when playing audio to the device directly. The original author ported it for the N800 and cross-compiled it for the N900 but didn't have an actual N900 to test it on.

So, festival kind of works, but could use some patching before it's actually useful for real world use.
