Someone has made Festival connect to the MS Speech API on Windows;  it 
might be possible to run that Windows port under Wine,  or use a similar 
method to link to the native Linux version (see 
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/festlang-talk/2006-January/000717.html 
).  Another possiblility would be to use JNI to call the FreeTTS 
libraries.  Is there any reason why a Wine DLL can't dynamically link to 
Java?
