Perhaps, but I don't find it has gotten in my way at all. Maybe this is why I can't click on an audio stream in Firefox and have it auto play, but this isn't how I want to use Firefox anyway. Instead, I save the file on my hd and play it from one of my Speakup consoles with mplayer. Frankly, I don't want FF playing music through the same audio device I use for Orca. I understand there's configuration somewhere in the gui for associating different types of audio streams with different devices. I used to configure that. I don't bother anymore. Also, I know I don't have the earcons available in Gnome. Orca itself works perfectly well, is very snappy, and just not a problem in any way. So, I can't say I mind whatever it is I've broken. It's just not tripping me up yet.
