Hi Nath:

I do not believe this is correct.  Gnome-speech will only build 
text-to-speech drivers for engines which it detects, but it makes no 
configuration choices about defaults.  This is up to gnopernicus.

By the way, recent gnopernicus builds allow you to select the global 
speaker and TTS engine.  Go to the Input/Output Settings->Speech 
Settings items in the gnopernicus
menus, then select Voice Settings.  From the Voice Settings dialog, 
select "Absolute Voice(s) Values", then select "Engine Driver" and 
"Engine Speaker", and after you have done so, press the button (via 
spacebar activation) labelled "Force all voice at engine driver and 
speaker" (clearly we need some UI copy-editing here to make the strings 
read a bit better in English :-).

This should cause all your gnopernicus voices to use the selected TTS 
driver and speaker.

regards,
