Don't forget to add the speech-dispatcher user to group audio or you
can select audio as the primary group of user speech-dispatcher.

Under debian you can to this with start-stop-daemon.

Example:
DAEMON=/usr/bin/speech-dispatcher
PIDFILE=/var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.pid
USER=speech-dispatcher
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid $USER --pidfile \
$PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON

HTH.
