There's a new version of flite available at http://www.festvox.org/flite/
Created attachment 523864 [details] Update to 2.1. Includes new "voices" USE flag to download and install additional voice data (not used directly, but can be specified by users manually pointing to /usr/share/flite/foo.flitevox).
FWIW, I find this version to deliver way better voice output compared to the old one, but this might be subjective.
