I've made a couple updates and now you can download 1.0a2.

Changes since last release:
- now uses flite's 16KHz voice (as opposed to 8KHz)
- has pcmcvt integrated into flite (one less process taking up memory)
- slightly improved rate conversion (still much simpler than a proper rate converter, but it's less CPU intensive... the sound quality difference is akin to scanning one of Mondrian's paintings at a slightly lower resolution)
- directory creation bug fix in the installer

The 16KHz voice increases the size of flite from 4M to 5.9M. Obviously, the size of the .tgz increases as well. This means that it almost certainly won't fit all on your root partition (unless you've enlarged yours). If this is a problem for you, you'll know it when you try to extract the archive, before even trying to run the installer.

If there are any volunteers out there, the installer could use some help... needs to check for errors and recover more gracefully.

I'm also not sure where pcmplay came from. Who wrote it? Where's the source? Am I allowed to hack it apart and reuse the code?
