Hi Sebastian:

In the window where you run festival-synthesis-driver, you should see
something similar to the following as you run test-speech:

wwalker ubuntu:~/orca$ festival-synthesis-driver 
server    Mon Dec 18 09:52:36 2006 : Festival server started on port
1314
client(1) Mon Dec 18 09:52:37 2006 : accepted from localhost
Festival driver finalized.

If you're not getting any messages, then test-speech might be connecting
to a different synthesis driver.
