Additional info

Exclusively use Ultimate Edition versions from UE2.4(Koala) onward This is an offshoot of Ubuntu distributions which attempt to seamlessly add as many of the "best" applications, tweaks and "eyecandy" as possible. Consequently problems are sometimes introduced which are fixable with a bit of effort. Usually add festival afterwards via debian/ubuntu packageing after initial install.

I've had problems with all implementations of UE and festival except for the latest(Precise/UE3.4) which worked fine from the beginning. All having to do with ALSA and/or sound-hardware/sound-server. Something breaks when it's not "standard".

My "fix" appears to solve the problem for the latest versions though it shouldn't be necessary.
