Hi,

Can you make a talking boot menu? also in the next Ubuntu with Gnome when the live cd/dvd starts have recordings telling what blind people need to do to get speech going. Also, open-suse has a talking bootmenu. please add a talking boot menu for Ubuntu... even if it uses 8kbps mono sounds its better than nothing. 
Also pulseaudio and Orca screen reader don't go wwell together on the ubuntu accessibility list. please switch to alsa as Ubuntu's mixer instead of pulseAudio.

It's a great idea, but I don't see a lot of movement towards
accessibility over in Ubuntu land (I hope they make me eat those
words).  I think we're going to have to do it ourselves.
