Synopsis

The festival driver provides access to the Festival speech synthesis system. Festival is available separately (also under the GNU GPL) at: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/. Unlike most drivers, the festival driver queues incoming commands, rather than overwriting them. When the queue is full, new commands are discarded.
