OpenDict in Ubuntu should use espeak instead of festival as default TTS, because espeak is included in default Ubuntu/Kubuntu CD and, also, festival is moved to universe since Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).
I've noticed, that it's very easy to make espeak as default TTS - we need just change one line in /usr/share/opendict/lib/gui/prefswin.py file. I'm attaching patch, which changes PRON_COMMAND to 'espeak "%s"'  to this bugreport. Please include this patch in Ubuntu OpenDict packages.
Users always will be able to change PRON_COMMAND to any other TTS command through OpenDict preferences GUI, so, this is safe change.

** Affects: opendict (Ubuntu)
