Leland,
Thank you for all of your work.

things. Display was fairly horrible as well. It did play
though. :-)
So, Keith and Nolan, sorry. :-(

I'm not sure how doable this is, though, and don't think it's
under the
Audacity project's control. They're using WXWidgets which uses
Carbon as its
underlying GUI toolkit. For those not in the know, Carbon apps are
typically
much less accessible than there Cocoa counterparts.
A while back, a bit of googling revealed that there's a WX Cocoa
layer. I
wasn't able to determine how complete it was, though I gather that
it isn't.
I did a CVS checkout of WX/Audacity and attempted to build WX with
Cocoa and
Audacity with that, and while WX built IIRC, I couldn't run any of
its
examples with Cocoa and Audacity failed to build with it.
Unless there's something of which I'm not aware, a reasonable next
step
might be to ask the WX folks how far along the Cocoa interface is,
whether
or not it will see continued development and, perhaps, whether the
knowledge
that most of Apple's accessibility work seems to be Cocoa-oriented
might
shift priorities some. Or, perhaps Leopard will improve Carbon
accessibility.
I'd love to be able to run it on the mac, though.
