Jon wrote quote I encourage people to present arguments on changing checkpoint 4.8 from P2 to P1. unquote aloha, jon! the argument is quite simple... there are many instances when i need synthesized speech at a certain level--which i can control on-the-fly thanks to the P1 requirement, if the wording of 4.10 is restored from "configure" to "control"--and the audio to play at a different level, in order that i can clearly and distinctly hear the 2 simultaneously... if i can't hear the synthesized speech because i can't adjust the volume of the audio source as it is playing, save by recourse to the OS' native volume control interface, i may have already missed out on what i needed to hear -- the synthesized content in conjunction with the audio -- especially if the audio is being streamed... it's akin to reading a page while looking at the illustrations with your peripheral vision, or the type of integration of textual and non-textual content one's brain makes to give one the gestalt view of the page when it is perceived in screenfulls, so i vote to raise 4.8 from P2 to P1 gregory.
