Describe the bug
Using speech-dispatcher with mimic3 running in a container does not work as there is no functional /path/to/mimic3 to reference in mimic3-generic.conf. Speechd registers the existence of the mimic3 module, but attempting to use it yields no output. Mimic3 server is confirmed running at http://localhost:59125/ and functions as expected with the installed voices.
I am running mimic3 as a systemd service using a podman container with the same parameters as outlined here.
Steps to Reproduce
Place the following in $HOME/.config/containers/systemd/mimic3.container
4. copy the example `/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/mimic3-generic.conf` from github.
5. Observe that the mimic3 server is running at `localhost:59125` and that voice output works as expected
6. Observe that `spd-say -O` and `spd-say -o mimic3-generic -L` output `mimic3-generic` and a list of configured voices, respectively.
7. Attempt to say something using `spd-say` using any of the installed voices; observe that nothing happens.
**Expected behavior**
speech-dispatcher is able to use mimic3 voices to output text to speech audio.
**Log files**
`/var/log/mycroft` does not exist.
**Environment (please complete the following information):**
- Device type: Laptop
- OS: Fedora Silverblue
- Mycroft-core version: N/A
- Other versions: N/A
**Additional context**
Using the exact configuration above but installing mimic3 using pip rather than running as a container works as expected, but I would prefer to be able to run it as a container. Maybe I am just missing something obvious, but I have been troubleshooting this for a few days to no avail.
