Re: [orca-list] beeps on progress bar updates, thoughts?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I would not object to this as a plugin-type feature but, personally, I would a thousand times rather the 
concentration be on improving Orca performance and expanding the number of applications that are accessible 
through it to us.  For me, this is a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have.

What does NVDA use? It's python unless something has changed in the last while since I've been using it 
enough to take a good look at things.
