Evening All,
I've just re-implemented an interface to the native Mac speech routines in Xastir.  

It's not the nicest interface since the Core Foundation based API to the Mac speech functionality gets quite upset and yells at you if you call it after a fork so I used execl to run /usr/bin/say rather than call the API directly.

It is working here on 10.6.7 and didn't crash after 10 minutes on a full feed, although my ears may never be the same.

Would anyone else like to play with it?  If so, please email me off list and I'll send you the patch.
