I'm not sure what OS distribution you are using or which version of 
GNOME you are using.  If it's recent (e.g., 2.28), then updating the 
accessibility infrastructure is likely not going to help.  Instead, we 
probably need to see some Orca debug output to try to get an idea of 
what is going on.

I suspect audio integration issues.  Take a look at 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuKarmic and see if there's anything in 
there that might help.

The accessibility infrastructure is being moved to D-Bus from CORBA. 
I'm not sure which source from git you've pulled -- please let me know 
the exact git command you used.
