[Freeswitch-users] cepstral problem

[Michael Collins]

Looking at the source code it seems that this is not currently possible. One
might be able to modify the code to do this but it would take a little bit
of time. You might want to ask Mathieu Parent (tts_commandline author) if he
has any suggestions.

Another option, depending upon what the circumstances are, is you could use
the "system" command to launch swift -f and record it to a wav, and then use
"playback" to play the wav file.
