asterisk users - Oct 2007 - app_swift issues

Hi all,
 i'm trying to integrate cepstral and asterisk, and i have a problem i'd
appreciate any help with (i know it's a bit tangential, but i figure this is
the place with the most knowledge of app_swift and asterisk).
I've installed swift from cepstral.com with alison's voice, and it works
fine, from the command line i can do swift "hello there" -o test.wav
and
then i play the wav and it includes the text. All good.
I've also installed app_swift according to the instructions here
http://www.mezzo.net/asterisk/app_swift.html, and "show application
swift"
from the asterisk CLI brings up the application installed.

Now, when i put Swift('This is a test') in the extensions.conf file, i
get
the following:
ERROR[3495]: app_cepstral.c:197 cepstral_speak: Failed to set voice.

I have not touched swift.conf (i'm using the defaults), and, i should add
that i have not yet purchased the cepstral voices so that when i run from
the command line it sticks "this voice is unlicensed..." or something
like
that at the beginning of the file, if that makes some kind of difference.

I found the problem referenced here:

but
no solution...

any help will be most appreciated,

thanks,
 yair

Hi list,
 just wanted to answer my own question for general knowledge - turns out
app_swift requires that the voice be set in swift.conf. If the default voice
in swift is not David-8KhZ then it will say no voice is found, even if a
swift voice is installed. Thanks to Earle for helping me with this.
