It's still frustrating to see most major applications
go the GUI only way. Linux-audio is a good bad example.
I ranted on lad recently about this, ecasound is really the
only app which is very nice for blind people. But let alone
ssm, gdam or the glame gui. Well cglame works, but
who is fluent enough in scheme to make it useful?
