not all german mbrola voices are usable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start Gespeaker
2.List the voices in Base Settings or Preferences
3.mbrola-voices de1, de3, de8 are not shown, even though they are installed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Id' like to see and be able to use all installed voices ;-),  I see 
mbrola-de6-gr, though, which isn't available...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gespeaker 0.8.1, Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Looks like the list is `hardcoded` and not generated from the actually 
installed files. Perhaps that should be changed, offering a link to the mbrola 
download page instead (makes it easier if new voices are added to the mbrola 
project, too)

This is not a gespeaker issue, which is a mere espeak frontend, not for just 
mbrola.

Gespeaker will properly detect all available language files from espeak, 
they're not hardcoded at all.

The indicated voice files cannot be used because espeak won't provide a 
language (phonemes) for them.
Give a look in
/usr/share/espeak-data/voices/mb/
/usr/share/espeak-data/mbrola_ph
to see all espeak supported voices
