If you just want to have speech-dispatcher in your headphone and if it 
is viewed as a sound card you can set environnement variables before 
running speech-dispatcher as follow:
export PULSE_SOURCE=$(pactl list | grep -A2 'Source #' | grep -Eo 'Name: 
alsa_input.usb-Creative_Technology_Ltd_SB_X-Fi_Surround_5.1_Pro_000001U1-00.analog-stereo'
 
| cut -d" " -f2)

pactl list source and sink by numbers #0 #1 etc.
The same with sink:
export PULSE_SINK=$(pactl list | grep -A2 'Sink #' | grep -Eo 'Name: 
alsa_output.usb-Creative_Technology_Ltd_SB_X-Fi_Surround_5.1_Pro_000001U1-00.analog-stereo'
 
| cut -d" " -f2)
then run speech-dispatcher.
