Festival Can’t Open /dev/dsp
I installed Festival in my Ubuntu 8.10 and when I was trying to use it to synthesize text, I got this error:
Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
Fortunately, I found the answer here. To solve this problem just write this .festivalrc in your home directory.
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR $FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
Short but very good post. I have spent quite same time looking for this solution.
Thanks a lot,
