My intention was not to have the best solution which does the job for me!!!
I am able to reconfigure the soundsystem and speechdispatcher.

The mentioned design will break console accessibility and not all console users
are
powerusers. 
They need an easy working setup which has
1. Braille output
2. speech-output for console and grphical environments.


Startting sd in a desktop envrionment will not work for console screenreaders.
Starting speech-dispatcher thorugh init will not work because the soundserver
pulseaudio isn't available in this early boot process.

Just my two cents
