This patch replaces contrib/realtime/ with a new setup for managing the database schema required for database integration with Asterisk. In addition to initializing a database with the proper schema, alembic can do a database migration to assist with upgrading Asterisk in the future. Hopefully this helps make setting up and operating Asterisk with a database easier. With this the schema only needs to be maintained in one place instead of once per database. The schemas I have added here have a bit of improvement over the examples that were there before (some added consistency and added some missing indexes). Managing the schema in one place here also applies to all databases supported by SQLAlchemy. See contrib/ast-db-manage/README.md for more details.

Merged revisions 397874 from http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/12 git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@397875 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
app_festival is an application that allows one to send text-to-speech commands
to a background festival server, and to obtain the resulting waveform which
gets sent down to the respective channel. app_festival also employs a waveform
cache, so invariant text-to-speech strings ("Please press 1 for instructions")
do not need to be dynamically generated all the time.
You need :
1) festival, patched to produce 8khz waveforms on output. Patch for Festival
1.4.2 RELEASE are included. The patch adds a new command to festival
(asterisk_tts).
It is possible to run Festival without patches in the source-code. Just
add this to your /etc/festival.scm or /usr/share/festival/festival/scm:
(define (tts_textasterisk string mode)
"(tts_textasterisk STRING MODE)
Apply tts to STRING. This function is specifically designed for
use in server mode so a single function call may synthesize the string.
This function name may be added to the server safe functions."
(let ((wholeutt (utt.synth (eval (list 'Utterance 'Text string)))))
(utt.wave.resample wholeutt 8000)
(utt.wave.rescale wholeutt 5)
(utt.send.wave.client wholeutt)))
[See the comment with subject "Using Debian
festival >= 1.4.3-15 (no recompiling needed!)" on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation for the
original mentioning of it]
2) You may wish to obtain and install the asterisk-perl
module by James Golovich <james@gnuinter.net>, from
either CPAN, or his site: http://asterisk.gnuinter.net,
as this contains a good example of how variable text
can be tts'd via asterisk, namely the examples/tts-*.agi
files there. It has been noted that the current expression
evaluation capabilities of asterisk are not best suited
for the generation and manipulation of text. AGI scripting
can be ideal for these sorts of needs. For simpler usage,
fixed, pre-recorded messages may be more amenable for your
purposes.
3) Before running asterisk, you have to run festival-server with a command
like :
/usr/local/festival/bin/festival --server > /dev/null 2>&1 &
