I would have thought it was rather more than a bug and am rather surprised 
that software with such an obvious and fundamental flaw should have been 
released.

Malcolm,
I think that these programs (like Webbbi itself) are really intended
to make things a little easier for beginners.  The BBC site is not
that difficult to navigate for an experienced screen reader user, but
personally (perhaps as a result of advancing years!) I like to save
time where possible and the interfaces of these programs
(particularly the latest Listen again) give me very convenient access
to an enormous number of Listen Again items.

As I may have said in an earlier post, the developer thinks that he
has identified a bug in the current software which is causing the
absence of sound and hopes to correct it very shortly.
