As has already been suggested, you need to go through the configuration file where fenrir stores its settings, and set it up to use speech-dispatcher for speech output if you want to use it with voxin. I'm not a fenrir user, so can't help you beyond that. If you start a new thread, others who can help you may notice it, if they're skipping over this one. Better yet, take this to the fenrir group as has also been suggested, you will probably get more help there. From the output you provided, it looks like fenrir is trying every possible output system in order except speech-dispatcher, and failing, but I don't know why.
