Description Dan Fandrich 2017-12-03 18:14:24 CET 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1-10.mga6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run this command on a machine with ALSA drivers configured but no OSS drivers (the default for Mageia):

 festival --tts <<<"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

You should hear through the speakers an ominous foreshadowing of the dangers of runaway AI technology. Instead, you will see the error message:

Linux: can't open /dev/dsp

Comment 1 Dan Fandrich 2017-12-03 18:44:04 CET 
Fixed in Cauldron in festival-2.1-12.mga7.src.rpm.

Fixed in mga6 in core/updates_testing in festival-2.1-10.1.mga6.src.rpm

Proposed update announcement text:

Festival 2.1.10.mga6 was built without support for ALSA sound drivers, which meant that it wouldn't generate any sound in a default Mageia installation. This has been fixed in release 2.1.10.1.mga6

Comment 2 Len Lawrence 2017-12-03 20:30:25 CET 
Mageia 6 :: x86_64

Installed festival and ran the test.
$ festival --tts <<<"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
Updated to festival-2.1-10.1

Reran the test and heard the phrase:
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
in a clear American accent.

OK for 64 bits.

MGA6-32 on Dell Latitude D600 MATE
No installation issues.
This is q fresh install of festival-2.1-10.1, no previous version of it.
At CLI:
$ festival --tts
no sound, command returns nothing, sits there forever. At least I had it running for 12 min. Used Ctrl-C to stop it.
Checked sound on the laptop by playing a .wav file.

@ Herman, re comment 3.
Could you try that again but type the phrase on the command line as in comment 2?
Comment 5 Herman Viaene 2017-12-05 13:51:00 CET 
That did the trick. I had read the line as with comments. So OK.
