Festival speech synthesis system.

The festival driver provides access to the Festival speech synthesis system. Festival is available separately (also under the GNU GPL). Unlike most drivers, the festival driver queues incoming commands, rather than overwriting them. When the queue is full, new commands are discarded.

You must install Festival, but you don't need to run it yourself; Player will handle starting and stopping the Festival server.
