Although Puccha's comment about using aoss will work.  My understanding
is that it will route audio as follows:-

  festival > oss > alsa > pulseaudio

A more efficient method of routing festival is to use padsp which passes
oss directly to pulseaudio as follows:-

  festival > oss > pulseaudio

The command would be:

$ echo "Hello" | padsp festival --tts

(aoss is not installed by default in Ubuntu 9.10, whereas padsp is)

** Changed in: festival (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- Festival won't speak when other app is playing sounds
+ Festival is not compatible with pulseaudio (won't speak when other app is 
playing sound)
