Switching between Mbrola voices

[Pierre Lorenzon]

HI,


I suspect that all you want to do is perfectly done by festival
driving mbrola. I may understand that you do not want to use
festival as a speech integrator, even if I personally think
taht it is an error, but you might take advantages
understanding how festival implements features you wihsh !

Regards

Pierre
