Bug 388473 – app-accessibility/festival: Some strings cause a pitch underflow

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raymond Jennings 2011-10-25 19:11:46 UTC]

Some strings can make festival's pitch underflow during recitation.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ echo "3.1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 7 9 3 2 3 8 4 6 2 6 4 3 3 8 3 2 7 9 5 0 2 8 8 4 1 9 7 1 6 9 3 9 9 3 7 5 1 0 5 8 2 0 9 7 4 9 4 4 5 9 2 3 0 7 8 1 6 4 0 6 2 8 6 2 0 8" | festival --tts

Actual Results:  
pitch underflows about halfway through and I can't hear anything because the voice chokes

Expected Results:  
pitch would stay steady

Im not sure what to make up of this. This bug is for upstream.
