sd_generic module fails to handle non-ascii characters

[Lex]

Hi again,

My problem is solved. I've discovered GenericLanguage config option and 
passed "utf-8" charset to it. Now i can work with ru_tts, thus response 
speed is fast but not ideal. I am thinking about native module for 
speech-dispatcher. I have experience with C++ under win32, but didn't 
try myself under linux.
Any help will be appreciated.

p.s. today i've written my first c++ app for linux: a small tool which 
converts 8 bit signed audio from stdin to 8 bit unsigned, as ru_tts 
generates audio in this format which is not supported by pulseaudio.
