Hi Mike,
I'm kind of in the same boat that you are.  I have a dual boot system with 
xp and Ubuntu and I find that Orca has a long! way to go.  One of the neat 
things about Ubuntu is that when I installed it, it found everything in my 
system with out a hitch, but doing things in Ubuntu with Orca is another 
matter.
When I play mp3 files with the total movie player, orca stops speaking while 
the music is playing, but the voice will come back after you close the 
player.  This used to crash orca, but after the latest updates, I'm no 
longer getting sound error messages, but I still can't play two sounds at 
the same time.  I'm hoping that Gnome 2.2 when it comes out, will fix some 
of these problems including updating orca.

Well haven't had much luck with trying to play a simple mp3 file. I'm
now on my 2ND player, Exhail. This does work some what except orca
craps out when the program runs or it won't play and Orca keeps on
functioning.
If some one has an idea on a decent player where I don't have to patch
up the damn thing, something out of the box like Itunes, winamp or
even windows meadia player that will run on Ubuntu, let me know?
Other than that, I guess I'm going to have to wait for another pc to
come available so that I can read and research in windows and then
move to the ubuntu machine to execute the various things I want to
try.
