I think that you set all right. But in this moment speech dispatcher
backend not support chose of voice or language. We work on it and I hope
that will be ASAP done.

Now you can make so, that flite will be as default and espeak as second
or you don't need make second only default because you can set
parameters for speechd-up in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/clients/speechd-up.conf file for example so:

# Local configuration for speechd-up

BeginClient "*:speakup:*"
        DefaultPunctuationMode "some"
        DefaultLanguage "cs"
        DefaultModule   "festival"
        DefaultRate 80
        DefaultVolume -10
        DefaultPitch 40
EndClient

Then you need include this config file on end of speechd.conf file.

Best
