I've just installed the flite port and setup a voice in the control module as

sure). Clicking on the test button just results in a beep however.

I can open ksayit & paste some text in it's window & press the play button. It 
says it's synthesising but I don't get any audio.
I can also go to the Jobs tab of the control module and click on Speak 
Clipboard. The text scrolls past in it's window as if it's speaking it, but 
again, absolutely no sound :-(

Does flite need to be configured or something?
