I've got a patch that re-does the quickscreen so that there are button
maps for time, battery level volume talk clips on/off etc...

Sighted people wouldn't want that for example.

I've written a patch that when you press a hot key from the wps it will
bring up sdoyon's playingtime work so a blind user can quickly see
length elapsed etc.
Where as a sighted user could probably see this info when just listening
to the song in the wps?

I'm not using 9067 I wrote my own patch exporting the talk functions to
the plugin api and just added all the strings in english.lang and then
called the voice functions from the plugins, since I didn't care about
voice size.

Should I send you all the patches I have installed so you know what I
mean?
