I would encourage this path, since I think Cepstral sounds great, and seems to be easier to tune than Festival. Here is the person at Cepstral that I've exchanged mail with, and he was very excited to learn of Asterisk's use of their modules:

I think we at digium could make/sell the Cepestral app if we can get a
hold of the folks there.  In any case, such an app would have to come
through us since to get an exception, as otherwise it would be in
violation of GPL.

Dave,


 I think the most efficient way is if you can volunteer to create an
 app_cepstral, if this works then we have a pattern for others or even go
 generic after that.

 I would be happy to help fund (presumably others will also contribute) the
 SDK for getting it working as an app.

After that let's see where it takes us.
