Re: [orca-list] Simple audio player working with Orca

Hi
I've not had much luck with Banshee. The basic play/pause functions  
are accessible, but none of the media management functions seem to be.  
There are several controls that orca just doesn't recognize, referring  
to them as "unknown" when in flat review. Experimenting shows me these  
controls do have full keyboard navigation and seem to be the media  
browsing controls similar to those found in players like rhythmbox or  
iTunes, however there's simply no feedback. This is with Banshee 1.4.
For a simple media player with no library functions or anything, I'd  
say either use totem or install gnome-mplayer, which is an accessible  
gnome frontend to the command-line mplayer. The nice thing about  
mplayer is that it can pretty much play anything you throw at it.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
