Mike Bradeen ab1a9fa7d1 app_voicemail_odbc: remove macrocontext from voicemail_messages table
When app_macro was deprecated, the macrocontext column was removed from
the INSERT statement but the binds were not renumbered. This broke the
insert.

This change removes the macrocontext column via alembic and re-numbers
the existing columns in the INSERT.

Fixes: #527

UserNote: The fix requires removing the macrocontext column from the
voicemail_messages table in the voicemail database via alembic upgrade.

UpgradeNote: The fix requires that the voicemail database be upgraded via
alembic. Upgrading to the latest voicemail database via alembic will
remove the macrocontext column from the voicemail_messages table.

app_festival is an application that allows one to send text-to-speech commands
to a background festival server, and to obtain the resulting waveform which
gets sent down to the respective channel. app_festival also employs a waveform
cache, so invariant text-to-speech strings ("Please press 1 for instructions")
do not need to be dynamically generated all the time.

You need :

1) festival, patched to produce 8khz waveforms on output. Patch for Festival
1.4.2 RELEASE are included. The patch adds a new command to festival
(asterisk_tts).

It is possible to run Festival without patches in the source-code. Just
add this to your /etc/festival.scm or /usr/share/festival/festival/scm:

    (define (tts_textasterisk string mode)
    "(tts_textasterisk STRING MODE)
    Apply tts to STRING. This function is specifically designed for
    use in server mode so a single function call may synthesize the string.
    This function name may be added to the server safe functions."
    (let ((wholeutt (utt.synth (eval (list 'Utterance 'Text string)))))
    (utt.wave.resample wholeutt 8000)
    (utt.wave.rescale wholeutt 5)
    (utt.send.wave.client wholeutt)))

[See the comment with subject "Using Debian
 festival >= 1.4.3-15 (no recompiling needed!)" on
 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation for the
 original mentioning of it]

2) You may wish to obtain and install the asterisk-perl
module by James Golovich <james@gnuinter.net>, from
either CPAN, or his site: http://asterisk.gnuinter.net,
as this contains a good example of how variable text
can be tts'd via asterisk, namely the examples/tts-*.agi
files there. It has been noted that the current expression
evaluation capabilities of asterisk are not best suited
for the generation and manipulation of text. AGI scripting
can be ideal for these sorts of needs. For simpler usage,
fixed, pre-recorded messages may be more amenable for your
purposes.

3) Before running asterisk, you have to run festival-server with a command
like :

/usr/local/festival/bin/festival --server > /dev/null 2>&1 &
