Derek,
The player itself isn't the problem bit, it's essentially just a
plug-in for your browser. The tricky bit is the Flash that the player
displays.
Flash can be very accessible. Mainstream screen readers have had
Flash support for the past five years or so and the techniques for creating
accessible Flash have been available for about the same time. Sadly, few
Flash developers know the first thing about creating accessible Flash.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) recommend providing
an equivalent alternative to any such content. In practice, this is often
quite a challenge, but as a rule it's achievable. It's difficult to provide
an equivalent experience, but certainly where Flash is used to convey
information, there's no reason why alternative accessible formats shouldn't
be provided.
Regards,
Léonie.
