Accessibility
- Uploaded gnome-orca and mousetweaks 2.31.3 to maverick.
- OpenTTS is now packaged, still got a few copyright issues to sort, but technically, its done. Still need to test the packages.
- Updated at-spi2 packages, still need to upload them to a PPA.
Audio
- Audio bug triaging, bugs in question were against the alsa userspace packages, pulseaudio, and the kernel.
- Merged in Debian's latest alsa-driver changes for maverick.
- Reviewed a patch from the pulseaudio mailing list regarding the alsa a52 plugin and pulse. Its still not working, but is looking good already. There may be a way to privde users with S/PDIF multi-channel audio output support soonish, and offer it as another installable package in maverick.
