This message is intended for Eric specifically, but I'd like anyone
else to jump into this.

I submitted an issue recently with JAWS11 (actually it effects JAWS10)
as well, and the issues appear to only be in 64-bit in particular.
>From what I could gather, JAWS 11 when working in the latest release
of Winamp witch I obtain from:
http://www.whitestick.co.uk
has an issue where if you use either of the commands for reading
elapsed time or the track length, no matter what happens, JAWS always
says 0 minutes, 0 seconds.
And will tell you the track length is also 0 minutes, 0 seconds.

The other (also script) specfic issues, is that in some applications
(Windows Live Messenger) and a few others, JAWS does not speak when
using insert A, or any of the text navigation commands that appear to
select text. The speech buffer may just say something like:
"Selected." Not a very discriptive message, but the lack of feedback
under 64-bit is a little... upsetting.

I submitted an emial about this to the tech support at Freedom
Scientific, and Grant Douny told me that it had been forwarded to the
JAWS development department.
So I was curious Eric as product manager if you have seen this message yet?
If you haven't, I'd urgently suggest you to either talk to Grant or
whomever you might have to, to see if this is something you could work
into either this update, or a future update in the 11 sycle.
Sincerely,

--Keith

P.s.

Feel free to email me off-list as well, but I figured you would be the
one to inform in a public manner.
Also, I wanted others with 64-bit machines to try some of the above
keystrokes for JAWS, and let me know if they too, (as I expect) report
improper infromation.
I am very sure, (as this has occured on all JAWS 64-bit releases that
I've tested, that it is a scripting issue on Freedom scientific's
part, and not an user-specific error.
Just thought it would be good to make everyone aware at once about this issue.
Though the interesting thing is, I don't see a lot of people using
64-bit versions of JAWS, so thus perhaps this is something that most
people just don't get a chance to test.

Keep up the great work on JAWS, Eric!

Regards, --Keith
