Well still hardworking on a 'text to speech synthesis' project. Amazing how much tools there are to do the trick! :)
So I dedicated my debian server to test with "Festval" The server does not have a Soundcard. When trying Festival I got the Error "ESD: error writing - Bad file descriptor", searching on the web gave me a mail archive with the same question.... unanswered. :( More searching gave me the idea that I need ALSA driver to enable a dummy soundcard. So Festival would execute and so I can output to a (.wav) soundfile, which is the only thing I want to do :) When running "Alsaconf" and installing the dummy drive...nothing really changed ( same error with Festival) But I need the Dummy for letting Festival thing it is outputting...If that's working I can finally record to .wav files. Am I on the right way? Or sounds (lol) this like bull ;-) Greetzz kleinejan ___________________________________ K I L L Y O U R D A R L I N G S .
