Binary package hint: pidgin-festival

To setup pidgin-festival, I followed these instructions:

After a reboot, everything worked fine.

However, now it no longer Speaks my instant messages.

The only thing I know, that may be causing this, is that I run "jovie" as a startup application now.

I'm suspecting , that since both (pidgin-festival and jovie) use festival, on the back end, which ever tries to use festival first get to use it at the exclusion of anything else that might want to use it. I'm not sure.

Here's how I have Jovie setup:
