I'll only say the Adobe Flash Player 9 isn't so hot under Firefox 3, but
more usable with IE7.

There's been much comment and constination here in the UK since the BBC
replaced it's Listen Again Real Based Player with the Flash based IPlayer.
 No one's having a good time with it, and things like the volume control
and navigation slider aren't accessible at all.

The BBC have said they'd address this in October.  October been and gone
and nothing's happened.

No idea whether screen reader vendors can do anything to improve the
situation but this Flash thing has spread like wild fire and something had
better change for the better soon.
