Why do this.  If you are having a problem with it contact a scripter or your
screen reader and let them contact nulsoft or fix it them selves.  That is
there job after all. Personally I feel complaining about accessibility
should only be done after you have used all the tools your screen reader has
to provide and still am not able to fix your problem.  Then the screen
reader makers need to provide more tools best approach or work together with
said company to fix the problem.  Or a combo a perfect example of a combo is
skype.  Where they have done some work to make skype more accessible and the
scripter for skype has done a lot of work.

Look, I don't use the library, so I can't speak on this and I'd make a 
lousy spokesperson. But what I'd really and seriously suggest, since the 
library means a lot to a lot of people, is that someone who uses the 
library and who possesses a high degree of technical knowledge pull out 
all the stops in trying to contact, directly, a Winamp developer and try 
to work directly with them on this. It seems the developers know there is 
a problem, but beyond that don't seem to understand the situation. I'm 
sure they're getting used to being whined at about the library ... I'm not 
saying everyone's whining, I'm just saying that they need to be contacted 
directly by someone who can speak their language and not expect them to 
speak ours.
