Linear seems like a logical match for the existing media type, but it's still not mutually exclusive. For example, iOS includes a "Speak Screen" feature that effectively linearizes an iBooks EPUB (including turning the pages), but you can pause the output or change the speech speed.

Perhaps:

  speech: none | linear | screen | linear-screen;

"@media (speech: screen)" could match screen readers, zoom utils with speech, and linear-screen would match something more like the "Speak Screen" or "Speak Selected Text" features. Seems like this might not match a screen reader where speech was off temporarily or permanently (e.g. a deaf-blind user with a refreshable Braille display)

This property might need to be subject to the privacy model we've been discussing.
