Depends on what you want to do.  Did you get sound configured/tested
and know that it works?

You can try playing a sound using various players that might be on
your system.  You might also have to play with some mixer programs
in order to get the volume set correctly.

To use Festival with Xastir, you have to start Festival up in daemon
mode, so that it is running all the time, then Xastir connects to it
when it has something it needs spoken.  Look at the Xastir INSTALL
file for info on that.
