Ok. I have just installed a fresh copy of sarge and then upgraded it to 
unstable on a spare partition. It seems that the exact same problem 
exists there as well. I think you are able to use it properly because 
there is something in your configuration somewhere that allows it to 
function normally.

I was asked to patch gnome-speech and run festival-synthesis-driver with 
test-speech to get some debugging output. This is the key message that I 
get, which is why things don't work.

"client(1) Sat Feb 12 16:55:11 2005 : rejected from 
localhost.localdomain not in  access list

If your friend was to apply the debug patch that I was sent, and did the 
same thing, there is a good chance the same message would appear.

So now I have seen this problem both on Ubuntu Hoary, and Debian 
unstable. Suggestions welcome.
