Hey All,

Thought I'd take a bash at trying to get Festival to work here on my lab system with the aim of using it to create our IVR menu prompts. I've spent most of the afternoon searching through the Wiki, the Festival website and Google and I've got a couple of questions.

First one is that the 'Asterisk+festival+installation' page on the Wiki mentions the RedHat 9 RPMs for Festival 1.4.2 will not work with asterisk. Is this also the case with the deb files in Woody? (1.4.2-2.1)

I have tried to use the debian provided package, but I get the following in the Asterisk console (I've obtusified the phone IP address...):

-- Endpoint 'aaln/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' observed 'hd'
-- MGCP mgcp_new(MGCP/aaln/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) created in state: Down

-- Endpoint 'aaln/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' observed 'hu'
-- MGCP handle_request(aaln/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) ast_channel already destroyed
-- MGCP handle_request(aaln/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) set vmwi(-)


In the festival server log I get:

client(8) Wed Aug 18 16:28:17 2004 : accepted from localhost
client(8) Wed Aug 18 16:28:17 2004 : disconnected


Assuming that the debian packages are not compatible, which version of Festival do I need? The Wiki page mentioned above says to grab the tarball of 1.4.3, which is no longer available from the website. Only 1.95 is available. Will that work? Does it need the patch mentioned on the Wiki page?


Does anyone have an apt compatible repository of everything needed to get Festival working with Asterisk under Debian Woody?

Thanks in advance
Darryl
