The big issue here is whether the audio subsystem can properly deal with non-speech audio being generated at the same time as speech. Many screen reader users like to have non-speech audio indicating when various things are happening. Others turn it off. Perhaps some of the blind gnome users might chime in (excuse the pun) on this.
