STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. guix shell festival
2. echo Hello speech | festival --tts

EXPECTED RESULT

You can hear festival utters "Hello speech".

UNEXPECTED RESULT

There is no speech, and the following error is printed:

  Linux: can't open /dev/dsp

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Using flite, a synthesizer based on festival, just works. Also, following the steps in Debian produce the expected result.
