That does sound like the next kernel will contain at least 1 killer new feature. I'm really looking forward to that one. That should largely take care of one of my biggest pet peeves about Linux. Brian Cluff On 11/16/2010 07:56 AM, Stephen wrote:

I would be interested in doing this myself (even if I compile linux code in OS X to do it). the only problem is that any X app I compile here will not be voiceover accessible, so I really do need a operating linux OS to do this on. I am not even sure yet if Audacity will even be orca
