Re: new module proposal: brasero

[Tim Miao <Tim Miao Sun COM>]

And I also did some quick checks on brasero 0.8.2 a11y side on latest
opensolaris, bugs were filed and most of them will get fixed in 0.8.4 or
so. The issues exist in brasero bottom panel,; the cover editor, and
labels in new project start pageï¼?brasero failed to show its children
out to ATs;. Please refer to the bug: #558205, #558207, #558212, #558213
and #558343.

Except issues above, brasero supports lots of at-tools accessing, like
orca screen reader/magnifier, GNOME On-screen Keyboard, GNOME a11y theme
and so on. If those issue can be solved in 0.8.4 release, that would be
great for accessibility accessing.

Thanks,
Regards.
