The Festival driver for Speech Dispatcher requires that Festival be run in 
server mode. You can start festival with "festival --server", and then 
re-start speech-dispatcher, and then Orca should see Festival.

Really what needs to be done is extend the Festival Speech Dispatcher driver 
to start festival itself. This is one of the many things on my TODO list.
