[Xastir] Festival & Speech

[Robbie, wa9inf]

Interesting. The wav files I downloaded this afternoon and put them in 
the sounds folder. Started working without starting Festival. I did get 
an error, unable to open Festival socket.. Worked anyway..

I then shut Xastir and festival down, rebooted the computer and this 
time started festival first then Xastir, got the same error and it still 
played the "clear" sounding wav files??? I did the shutdown, reboot 
thingy, and ran Xastir witout Festival, it stills speaks nice clear 
perfect English..

What did I do right?  Xastir 1.8.3 and Fedora Core 5 Pentium II 300 mghz
