Not Festival with Emacspeak. There is a Speech server for Festival to work wth emacspeak. This is the missing piece you are talking about. You need to get this and then you can use Festival as the speech engine with emacspeak. Yes, there was a message reg. this , I think by the author of that speech server. Check out the archives.
