Found! Happyness:

lp_diphone
festival> (assoc 'coding (cadr (voice.description current-voice)))
(coding "ISO-8859-1")
Is it ok for it to be defined straight into
/usr/share/festival/voices/italian/pc_diphone/festvox/pc_diphone.scm,
added at the end like this?
(proclaim_voice
'pc_diphone
'((language italian)
(gender male)
(dialect none)
(description
"This voice provides a Italian male voice using a
residual excited LPC diphone synthesis method. The lexicon
is provived by a set of letter to sound rules producing pronunciation
accents and syllabification. The durations, intonation and
prosodic phrasing are minimal but are acceptable for simple
examples.")
(coding "ISO-8859-1")))
Because if like this is ok, I can upload the new package in Debian and
prod the Ubuntu people to pick it up. Not that it would make a big
difference since ISO-8859-1 would be a default, but it would set an
example for others to follow.
BTW, is "coding" a name that comes from some standard or a name that
we're inventing right now? Because if we're inventing it right now,
then I think I'd prefer "encoding".

And I think I can fix this as well:
(list 'VOICEDESC:
(nth 0 (voice.description '%s))
(cadr (assoc 'language (cadr (voice.description '%s))))
(cadr (assoc 'dialect (cadr (voice.description '%s))))
(cadr (assoc 'gender (cadr (voice.description '%s))))
(or
(cadr (assoc 'coding (cadr (voice.description '%s))))
"ISO-8859-1"))
Now, to properly read and store this data, I have to add an 'encoding'
field to GNOME::Speech::VoiceInfo. That would be changing the IDL in
gnome-speech. How free am I to do that? What are the side effects of
doing it?
Ciao,
Enrico
