Tiny little oddnesses... -voice appears to be playing at half time in most cases at the moment. on the k3.
IIRC this was something to do with the card itself.
(GM and I were going to exploit this odd reaction to 16k mono as it uses almost no processor for as-yet no fully-known reasons )
for example on a k3.
[root@kindle root]#
flite -voice rms -t "Hello... Hello... This is the voice of the mysterons we know you can hear us earthlings"
will sound how you might imagine that would... slow and low.
Let's render it..
[root@kindle root]#
flite -voice rms -t "Hello... Hello... This is the voice of the mysterons we know you can hear us earthlings" /mnt/us/music/mysterons.wav
and play it again to check the formats etc.. (and that it still sounds funky)
[root@kindle root]#
aplay /mnt/us/music/mysterons.wav

Yep... low and weird.
Let's shove it on the Kindle Touch (via the pc)
me@PC ~ $
scp root@k:/mnt/us/music/mysterons.wav ./; scp ./mysterons.wav root@kt:/mnt/us/music/mysterons.wav

and play it again...
[root@kindle root]#
aplay /mnt/us/music/mysterons.wav

now it sounds completely normal.
So...
Conclusion? 16k mono files freak out on the k3 OOTB
One more point... inside one the voices
awb_time there is a resource reference missing/malpointed.
[root@kindle root]# flite -voice awb_time -t "Do I work?"

So due diligence done. issues reported.
The file attached below should sound slow on a 3 and normal on a 5. Thanks.
