How to get Festival text to speech working?

I'm trying to evaluate Festival text-to-speech on Fedora 7, but I get
this error:

festival --tts < test.txt
Linux: can't open /dev/dsp

Seems many people have this problem, but I can't see any fixes. As always
System -> Help is useless.

Obviously if it was shipped it must work somehow. Any suggestions?

Joe.
