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

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I think we can generate tones in pure python without extra dependencies. 
I think we can even borrow some code from NVDA...
http://community.nvda-project.org/export/cfdca973fcfa00d883c47f53ec2765b1c04d62d5/source/tones.py
What I don't know yet how to play it. Perhaps the most natural way for a 
gnome application would be through gstreamer however I would welcome 
hints on this from someone who knows this stuff better.
Sox is fine and functional but if there are gnome technologies we can 
use I think we should rather use those rather than adding extra 
unrelated dependencies.

Greetings

Peter
