Hi Andrei!

Personally I am a little lazy, but I'll try (I only don't know when).

One important question:

I found old but working commercial Polish synthesizer - syntalk. I wrote
simple draft (generic module for 0.6.x/0.7.x), one of my (blind) friend
said it's rather usable. The problem is simple: syntalk does not support
pitch and rate changes. I used play command with tempo and pitch
parameters, but for me it should be good to use some internal
speech-dispatcher function instead.

In fact I wrote this function (as draft of course), but function needs
sonic library for rate, and samplerate+sonic for pitch.
So question is simple: as this function will be used in minimum two
modules (ivona and generic), should it be placed as common audio function,
or should it be private for these modules?

I also try to implement SAPI module (I won't wait for OpenSapi to be
usable, my friend started with writing windows part, if he will finish his
work I need only some hours to write speech-dispatcher module), and I also
want to use sonic and resampling... so may be it would be good idea to make
pitch/rate changer as common audio function?

And may be using samplerate is overkill... may be I should use simpler
resampling algorithm directly in this function?
