In the course of reading various documentation, I came across a warning that compiling festival, or perhaps some other program that requires festival, can potentially kill a hardware synth.
Is this a true risk?
I'm looking to compile festival on a slackware 10.1 system with a doubletalk synth.

I don't see any reason festival would do this. I think in the past I
have compiled festival on slackware and not had any problem with
hardware synths. If you are unsure then you can use the RPM's with
the rpm2tgz tool, I know this works.

Hi, no
The problem is when you run gnome whith the screen reader for gnome both of
them as far as I know it kills your speech device because it only
understands that a Braille display is on the serial port. Hth

Hi.
There is a bug that can trash your hardware synth on com 1, but it should
only be a problem once. It only happens when you first set up
Gnopernicus for a new user.
Basically: when you select "enable screen reader" in the assistive
technology dialog in desktop preferences, the defaults for Gnopernicus
will be switched to ones that include a braille display connected to com
1. Just go into the startup preferences dialog of Gnopernicus and
disable braille support to get Gnopernicus to stop messing with the com
port. After you do this, you can switch to a text console and get the
synth back.
To get the synth back, just change the speakup default to none, power
cycle the synth, and then return the speakup default to the hardware
synth.
The bug has been reported, and it should be fixed "soon". Like I said,
it only happens when you first set up Gnopernicus, it won't happen again
and it won't happen on a system that just runs Gnome without
Gnopernicus.
Hope this helps.
Kenny

Ok, great. This is exactly what I came across somewhere. However, I was
under the impression that *trashing* the synth meant to actually break it,
like perhaps destroying the firmware. I was just concerned about killing
this synth, especially since its a borrowed one.

No it will not brake the sinthasizer it might lock it up tell a restart but
it should not brake it.

Hi all,
Attached is a message I wrote a few minutes ago concerning the festival
packages. I'm sending it again because I forgot to include a proper
subject on the last one. Sorry about that.

I all,
I am working on the festival packages, and I had a question for those of
you using Slackware. Should I include the mbrola voices? The reason I
ask is because these are not GPL. I can either include them, not include
them, or distribute them as a seperate package. What is everyone's
opinion on this?
