[BRLTTY] some strange issues with brltty 5.3.1

[kendell clark]

hi
Thank you very much for offering to help me. I'll gladly accept. I've
tried working with the pulse people before, and while they didn't blow
me off, they seemed a little bit ... reluctant to help. It's as if when
I mentioned accessibility they glazed over. Oh, well we don't know
anything about that, kind of response. What should I do next? Should I
contact the pulse audio devs while you guys look into brltty on your end?
Thanks
Kendell Clark
