Many thanks Desnotes, interesting idea.
I'm using Festival as text to speech synthesizer but I did not think at a plug-in for Firefox.
Other question. Do know anyone how to change the timming between synthesized words?

Thanks for the ideas but I've had no luck so far.

I've tried the mplayer -playlist filename.smil but all I get is error messages about not being able to open the URL.

I'm using a frugal install of DSL 2.3 with the standard mplayer from the myDSL library

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "

Sorry, I did cheat. I used mplayer on another Linux distro to listen the .smil file.
Later, I will try using mplayer from MyDSL on DSL v2.3 ...

There is a uci realplayer that allows you to listen to NPR which might not be exactly what you are looking for but if you want to listen to NPR smil files it does work.
