It's Red Hat's persnickety audio permissioning scheme, I think. They do
this on purpose--though I think their use case for it is pretty poor.

My hope, once we can effectively use pulseaudio, is that running
pulseaudio as a system daemon will get around this problem. There's a
pulseaudio group where users can be added. I think it's the right way to
do audio access--something Debian has done for a long time.

Yes, but checking the box in Orca Preferences doesn't work. Instead,
look under System Preferences for Sessions and add Orca there. It will
start Orca every time you log in.
