Is it? I thought there are problems with dependency
on a very old version of libstdc++ and there is no 64bit
version and no sourcecode so that one is able to fix
the previous two. If there has been some progress on these
issues lately, I'd be very happy to hear about them, as I'd
need to install ttsynth myself to be able to improve the
Speech Dispatcher output module.

Well, Festival is the most important one and now includes
support for several languages.  I believe it is also available
as rpm.
