This is my reading too. In an aural style sheet there are only two values of 
interest, none and anything else.

If you conversely *do* want to speak something that is not displayed 
visually, you could use a @media rule:

  some-selector {display:none}
  @media aural {some-selector {display: inherit} }

As for the other CSS properties I consider visibility: hidden and 
volume: silent to be similar in a visual respectively aural context.
