I'd venture a guess that you still would want the accessibility install in order to enable Orca during installation, and to enable it by default when booting Ubuntu. I would guess that pulseaudio will be enabled in Lucid either way.
With a Vinux/Lucid install, speech would be enabled regardless, with pulseaudio, but ideally you'd get options for whether or not to boot into Gnome, or go with raw speakup in a command line interface. In an ideal world, Ubuntu would incorporate many of the accessibility improvements found in Vinux when you select the accessibility install, and Vinux/Ubuntu as a seperate ISO would go away (Vinux would still be needed for other distros). That would include critical accessibility programs like speakup, the Vinux key bindings, Stormdragon's cool Orca utils, emacspeak in the DVD version, etc. Ideally, the background would be black, fonts would be 18-ish points, and we'd even have an audio-book creator app that talks to bookshare.org. Sounds pretty pie-in-the-sky-ish to me, but is there any chance us Vinux guys could get seriously involved with what happens in an Ubuntu accessibility install? I'm confident there'd be a lot of interest from the blind/VI community, and there are a bunch of us who are big geeks, with a personal stake in the game.
