There are 3 ways that calls directly to standard allocator functions can be dealt with: 1. Block their use, cause them to generate an error. This is the default. 2. Replace them with the Asterisk equivalent function calls. 3. Leave them alone. This change allows one of these 3 options to be selected by any source. The source just needs to define ASTMM_LIBC to ASTMM_BLOCK, ASTMM_REDIRECT, or ASTMM_IGNORE to use option 1, 2 or 3 respectively. Normally ASTMM_BLOCK is the correct option, so it is default when ASTMM_LIBC is not defined. In some cases when building 3rd party code it is desirable to have it use Asterisk functions, without changing the whole source - ASTMM_REDIRECT accomplishes this. When using 3rd party libraries sometimes a static inline function will make use of malloc or free. In these cases it may be unsafe to replace the allocator in the header, as it's possible the memory could be freed by the library using standard allocators. For those cases ASTMM_IGNORE is needed.

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 &
