And how important. :-) I think the responses to this thread show quite accurately that the existence of accessibility features is a mainstream concern and also that many musicians do not want to be tied to graphic interfaces. I would have thought that most non-visual users would already make a lot of use of audio interfaces. As this is GNU/Linux we're all likely to end up pioneering at some point and having to document it for others. One of GNU/Linux's great strengths is its accessibility and language support. Of course there's lots of room for people to join in and make it stronger. I think any discussion of how large a minority blind linux audio users constitute is irrelevant, accessibility is a requirement to which we all need to pay attention. Right, well I'd better make sure all my web pages speech render properly having said that hadn't I? ;-) cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
