Flite doesn't produce speech without creating a .WAV file?

I am trying to run flite TTS for a project, and I encountering an issue where there's no output sound when I run this command.

flite -t hello

But, when I run this command, it creates a .wav file and I can play it.

flite -t hello -o hello.wav

I managed to compile with the correct libraries and downloaded the required voice files {source code} so there are no issues there, and after looking in Stackoverflow I found a few questions posted about this{link}, but none of them works with mine. Also, I tried running the sample C code given in the flite's documentation {doc}, but that doesn't produce any output speech either.

//extracted from the sample code
flite_file_to_speech(argv[1],v,"play");

Could anyone suggest me a way to generate the speech with flite, without creating a .wav file?

Perhaps the program is unable to detect the correct output destination (e.g. speakers)? – Patrick Roberts Feb 22 '18 at 18:44
@PatrickRoberts is there a way to select the speakers in the config file? – Shamveel Ahammed Feb 22 '18 at 20:30
