Discussion of sounds of lojban speech reminded me that speech synthesis is built into Mac OS X (actually it has been there since about OS 7, a decade ago at least) and that it is easily invoked from either Applescript of from the OS X command line.
Wasted a perfectly good afternoon cobbling together an applescript that pronounces lojban text. Definitely has rough edges interface-wise and probably some bugs, but:

is the "Vicki" voice saying {.i no pa re ci...} and
http://www.tassos-oak.com/tempp/tavla.applescript
is the cobbled script for other mac users to play with.
Cheers,
