Ask someone who's not still stuck on kde3 :) but, yes, festival is a
universally-supported backend to accessibility engines, but this isn't
really an accessibility use, so the best support I've seen is using
knotify's ability to run arbitrary programs to cat something into
/dev/speechd and run the speechd daemon (which itself connects to a
copy of festival).
