Hi,
Not punctuation marks - only controls, though I think it would not be
a bad idea this to be extended to other type of messages in the future.
I too think that it's essential to have a GUI for
listing/playing/changing the individual sounds. Having different
themes, or set of sounds, also sounds good idea.
I also think that allowing simultaneous speech/braille/icon (like for
progress bar beeps) will be very advantageous.

If I remember right, the current state is in Crys' orca-beep repo:
https://github.com/chrys87/orca-beep

Best wishes,
Zahari
