Bug Description

Binary package hint: festival

currently festival uses oss directly, so it conflicts with pulseaudio. (only one of them can play sound at a time)

one solution is to make festival use paplay, like described in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=751169
by editing /usr/share/festival/init.scm

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "paplay $FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'snd)
