The thing with esd-style autospawning is that it is racy, does not do locking while testing whether to startup a new instance. I'd prefer if we didn't rely n esd style autospawning.

Which leaves us the options. a) use pacat or b) make sure that pulseaudio --start was rung and completed before festival becomes active.
