I'm running on gentoo, I emerged speechd and festival. I got festival to
work with alsa by using:

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)

in ~/.festivalrc

If I got into the festival interactive mode by running /usr/bin/festival
then (SayText "whatever") works, but if I echo "whatever" > /dev/speech
nothing happens.

My logs look alright:

I can't seem to wrap my mind around why this won't work. Hoping someone
will know what to do?

Thanks :)
