Festival works a treat!
You can pull this from cydia
Here ya go!
You will also need Erica's play audio from here
Then these two simple commands:
(1) iPhone:~ root# flite "Yes it is true that. Da. I Phone. Can speak" -o tmp.wav
(2) iPhone:~ root# ./bin/playaudio tmp.wav
here is the wav file pulled from the iphone of a real speaking iphone!!
Very cool!
New !NATIVE! converter for images
# ./bin/snap test
About to capture screen
# file test.png
test.png: PNG image data, 320 x 480, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
Convert time:
# ./convert test.png test.jpg
# ./convert test.jpg test.tif
# file test*
test.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01
test.png: PNG image data, 320 x 480, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
test.tif: TIFF image data, little-endian

New !NATIVE! gnupod on the iphone with perl mod ports
(I came out of retirement for this one as Benanzo has been asking for
this for a long time)
"Warnings" have been removed from these vt100 grabs, all of this is to
be executed on the iphone with the perl and gnupodprogs from above:
# gnupod_INIT.pl -m /var/root/Media
gnupod_INIT.pl 0.99.5 (C) Adrian Ulrich
Your iPod is mounted at /var/root/Media, ok ?
*********************************************************
This tool creates the default directory tree on your iPod
and creates an *empty* GNUtunesDB (..or convert your old
iTunesDB to a new GNUtunesDB).
You only have to use this command if
-> You never used GNUpod with this iPod
or -> You did an 'rm -rf' on your iPod
btw: use 'gnupod_addsong -m /var/root/Media --restore'
if you lost your songs on the iPod after using
gnupod_INIT.pl (..but this won't happen, because
this tool has no bugs ;) )

Done
Your iPod is now ready for GNUpod :)
Ok time to get some mp3 action (again, why not keep it native :)):
# curl http://wickedpsyched.com/iphone/media/streamripper.gz |
gzip -dc > streamrip ; chmod +x streamrip
# ./streamrip http://ct5.fast-serv.com:9104/ --quiet -a test.mp3
prefs_fn = /var/root/.config/streamripper/streamripper.ini
^C
Now to add it to the library:
# gnupod_addsong.pl -m /var/root/Media test.mp3
gnupod_addsong.pl Version 0.99.5 (C) Adrian Ulrich
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1337, column 8, byte 1121620
at /opt/iphone/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/arm-apple-darwin-2level/XML/Parser.pm line 187
Opps!
Line: 1337!!! classic error! Not quite 1337 as it turns out!
Turns out that the videos break gnupod right now on the iphone
21:46 < core> ah line 1337 is a HOMER SIMPSON video!
21:46 < core> ROFFFFEEEELLLLS
21:46 < core> that is just so funny
21:46 < core> it's barphing on GNUtunesDB.xml
21:46 < core> parsing this is hella slow though
21:47 < core> let's see if it gets past line 1337
21:47 < core> "GNUtunesDB.xml" 2743 lines, 1174718 characters written
21:47 < core> if it does I will LAUGH my arse off :)
(quick delete of line 1337 and the video from GNUtunesDB.xml and we are off again:

Done:
And better still it is "smart"
# gnupod_addsong.pl -m /var/root/Media --playlist "Benanzo PlayList" --playlist-is-podcast test.mp3

XMLhelper.pm: No need to create 'Benanzo PlayList', playlist exists already!

Native streamripper
# ./streamripper http://ct5.fast-serv.com:9104/ --quiet -a test.mp3 &
makes a viable test.mp3 file on the phone. It also uses hardly any (0%) CPU to manage this which is great!
Erica's playaudio works fine and dandy with these files, but alas this
idea of using a relay server currently fails:
# ./streamripper http://ct5.fast-serv.com:9104/ --quiet -a /dev/null -r 8080
prefs_fn = /var/root/.config/streamripper/streamripper.ini
# ./playaudio http://localhost:8080/

we need to edit playaudio so that it keeps running...
Playing code via Celestial works just fine I've been using code that looks like this:
avc = [[AVController alloc] init];
avq = [[AVQueue alloc] init];
avi = [[AVItem alloc] initWithPath:[NSMutableStringstringWithFormat:@"test.mp3"] error:&error];
[avq appendItem:avi error:&error];
[avc setQueue:avq];
[avc play:nil];
It works, but stops playback for sizeof() that is called at the start of the playback.
We need to use AVByteStream, but at the moment I've no idea how to...
LAME front end
-bash-3.2# ./lame --help
LAME 32bits version 3.97 (http://www.mp3dev.org/)

-b bitrate set the bitrate, default 128 kbps
-h higher quality, but a little slower. Recommended.
-f fast mode (lower quality)
-V n quality setting for VBR. default n=4
0=high quality,bigger files. 9=smaller files
--preset type type must be "medium", "standard", "extreme", "insane",
or a value for an average desired bitrate and depending
