IMHO, for visually impaired, an audio user interface might be the way to
go.
- Navigate via voice input (limited vocabulary / multiple users was
quite usable last I checked).
- specific "action in progress" sounds
- speech-to-text for listing albums, artists, track numbers, genres,
etc.

I did some work in this area (access to Notes databases via phone /
audio only) in the mid-90's, and can tell you that most users "think"
about access differently without the instant random access available by
just moving your eyes around a display already up on a screen. So doing
something like this would be non-trivial.
And so far, there's been one request, and that person posted once and
disappeared. And it's not at all clear that this's what they might have
wanted, anyway.
Maybe when car computers become more common, and there's a larger
audience who would like to control a SB in an "eyes busy / hands busy"
situation...
