What I saw was someone who installed the Festival binaries on Linux and was
tinkering aound with it. Not Festival with Emacspeak.
There is a Speech server for Festival to work wth emacspeak. This is the

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.
