[Gllug] speech synthesis

[ChrisJS at aol.com]

I found that IBM's free ViaVoice Text-To-Speech system was much easier to 
find and set up than the alternatives. It comes with example programs which 
use the runtimes they provide, such as a commandline speaker and a text file 
speaker. Worth a look, should be easy to find on their website.
The only problem I had was with my soundcard not bein able to do hardware 
mixing, so if I was playing music, the ViaVoice output was squelched. If 
anybody knows of a way around this (I'm using eSound and xmms) I'd appreciate 
it...
