Hello,
Festival appears to be working fine:
lsb_release -a | festival -b --tts
Gnome-speech seems to be the problem; however, I'm not familiar with the tool:
Gnome-speech uses Festival in server mode. This means, that Festival runs in the background and waits for special commands to be executed. You can check if Festival works fine with the program festival_client.
Festival_client can be found normally in /usr/share/bin directory. This software is very useful, but not user friendly. After starting, it reads standard input and sends it to Festival server. In order to test the speech type in this line:
(SayText "Hello.")
If you hear "hello" Festival is ready to use.
Good luck,
Laszlo
