Hi all,
Audacity offers some higher end features and is written in gtk, so it

I just tried audacity with orca and saddly the whole thing seems to show up as inaccessible. Orca must not be getting any events for the application. It's good to know that this is written in gtk+ so hopefully we could interest the authors in solving the problems.

Also note http://www.jokosher.org/ which is likely to be the next generation of sound editing in Gnome. I've briefly contacted the team about keeping accessibility in mind as they develop it, which I'm sure they will. Some early testing would probably help them though. (I've poked it a bit with at-poke; It does reveal access information but how usable it actually is with a screen reader I don't know).
