Still a TTS test

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe <mengualjeanphi@free.fr>]

Hi,

After my surprising success with espeak-mbrola, I try to run mbrola 
through cicero or festival. Other ideas of tts? Is it a better quality?

With Cicero, after uncomment the AddModule line in speechd.conf, here's 
what says cicero.log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cicero", line 20, in <module>
    s = main.SpeechServ(app_brltty_es.AppFeed)
  File "/usr/share/cicero/main.py", line 38, in __init__
    self.sndoutput = sndoutput.SndOutput(self.samplingRate)
  File "/usr/share/cicero/sndoutput.py", line 58, in __init__
    self._open()
  File "/usr/share/cicero/sndoutput.py", line 133, in _open
    raise BaseException('Sound device is busy')
BaseException: Sound device is busy

I use Alsa with snd-hda card.

An idea? A bug?

Regards,
