Soudns like you have pulseaudio running. I suggest to do the following to get rid of it for now:
1. Run this command to prevent pulseaudio from automatically reloading when a sound app loads: echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf
Then, run this to prevent pulse from loading on login: touch ~/.pulse_a11y_nostart

I hope in the near future that pulse will work well with speech-dispatcher, but for that to happen, much debugging needs to be done, which I hope to do in the coming weeks.
