Re: [orca-list] Accessible instalation in Fedora

Thanks, Nick. I learned something today. Guess I haven't been keeping up
on Free Desktop features, and this one in particular seems to be
implemented cross platform, including Microsoft.

Question: So, how do you make a sound play? The docs talk about starting
an app? Is it as straight forward as providing an argument to aplay (or
paplay), e.g.

aplay mysound.ogg

I'd just go test, but my Linux Desktop is not functional at the moment.
