A partial workaround can be to redefine the volume control buttons as up and down arrow keys to hop from control to control while inside menu and dialogs. I have done this for blind users of Android phones that have a physical keyboard but no d-pad (really, these exist). Also check out the on-screen keyboard of the new TalkBack screen reader https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.talkback and discussions of it on the eyes-free list http://groups.google.com/group/eyes-free
