I was in on that thread.  Someone remembered a long-ago post of an
english-to-phoneme program.  I have it now, but I haven't had time to play
with it.

The obvious hack is to record all the phonemes and write a backend to
string them together and write them to /dev/audio.

If you want the above mentioned program, send me mail.
