eSpeak and Speech Dispatcher

Hi,

I have been trying to make speech-dispatcher work with eSpeak for the past
few hours with no results.

I am using Fedora Core 7 and installed eSpeak 1.28 and speech-dispatcher
0.61 using the Fedora yum utility.

eSpeak seems to be working fine, when tested separately. However I am having
trouble in running the spd-say command and getting audio output.

I modified the  /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf as follows :

#AddModule "flite"        "sd_flite"     "flite.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/flite.log"
> AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/festival.log"
> AddModule "espeak-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-generic.conf "
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/espeak.log"
> #AddModule "epos-generic" "sd_generic"   "epos-generic.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/epos.log"
> #AddModule "dtk-generic"  "sd_generic"   " dtk-generic.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/dtk-generic.log"
> #AddModule "ibmtts"       "sd_ibmtts"    "ibmtts.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/ibmtts.log"
> #AddModule "cicero"        "sd_cicero"     " cicero.conf"
> "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/cicero.log"
>
> # The output module testing doesn't actually connect to
> # anything. It outputs the requested commands to standard output
> # and reads responses from stdandard input. This way, Speech Dispatcher's
> # communication with output modules can be tested easily.
>
> # AddModule "testing"
>
> # DefaultModule selects which output module is the default.
> # You must use one of the modules loaded with AddModule.
>
> #DefaultModule flite
> DefaultModule espeak-generic
>

However when I check the output logs this is what I am getting (this is
after I cleaned out all traces of eSpeak and speechd and reinstalled them) :

e.g. with telnet. Please see documentation for more info.

Any help would be appreciated.
