Accessibility

• Further work on the gnome-speech replacement specification. Discussed work items with pitti and Rick at the sprint, and postponed a few that are not imperative for karmic. Also managed to get all client API speech server spawning code written, just needs a little more testing before its uploaded. This took a fair amount of time at the sprint, mostly due to my coding inexperience and debugging.
• More empathy testing, to identify what themes are usable with orca. Luckily it seems the default theme that is used is accessible out of the box. Orca will need scripts to work with empathy properly however.
• Updated gnome-orca, mousetweaks, and gok to 2.27.90 in karmic.

Audio

• Audio bug triaging, bugs in question are against pulseaudio, alsa userspace, and the kernel for hardware enablement.
• Discussed Kees' requests re rtkit and getting it into main with pitti at the sprint, and have a better idea of what needs to be changed for it to be acceptable in main.
• Updated pulseaudio to 0.9.16~test4 in karmic, and with the help of Daniel Chen, triaged bugs that were filed after users updated to the new version.
• Further testing of bluetooth audio and the gnome applet during the sprint, to help with the final bluetooth applet decision.
• Found a bug when switching bluetooth profiles with pavucontrol and pulseaudio. Need to get a backtrace to further help debugging.
• Identified a regression with the headphone jack on my notebook under 2.6.31-4 and 2.6.31-5 kernels. Need to find the newest kernel that works, and bisect the source to identify the problem commit, to help get it fixed.

• Uploaded a few ALSA fixes that Daniel Chen picked from upstream, to help with PulseAudio stability.
