Re: Language settings in gnome-speech drivers (and other questions)?

[Marc Mulcahy <Marc Mulcahy Sun COM>]

We now have API in gnome-speech for getting speakers of various languages 
from gnome-speech drivers, but no engines to test them against 
(determining what voices are installed in Festival is a bit tricky).  
Cepstral Swift will be a good multilingual testbed for us to work out 
these sorts of problems-- there are some changes that must be made in 
Gnopernicus as well.
