The only problems may be inserting plugs and selecting presets, but I would 
think there would be a workaround for that.

Phil replied: also, accessing parameters and clicking buttons in plug-ins could 
be an issue.  Mind you, it wouldn't be if NVDA had an equivalent of 
HotSpotClicker built-into it and if NVDA could read off the CWACCESS Window 
then, maybe not.  Also, actually inserting plug-ins shouldn't be an issue as 
there is the applications key for that.

location, selected status, markers, levels, and even the effect names and 
through act many parameters.  All this stuff
is exposed in the control surface sdk which can certainly be called from a 
program like nvda, and through wineyes new scripting environment.  I really
think I could write a set of scripts that will hardly need to look at the video 
display at all.

Phil replied: possibly however, in order for this to really work without a 
video driver, we would need control surface support or CWACCESS Window or, 
similar for the event view, as that currently relies on video driver support.
