The braille-parameter is only useful in case you run a second instance
of brltty to read terminals in the X session, in which case that second
instance needs to connect to the first one through brlapi. This is not
what you need here.

It's built into BRLTTY. Make sure to have braille enabled in the orca
config, and run orca by hand in a terminal and capture its output, which
will tell us what is going wrong.
