You've given me an idea. I wonder what you, and others, think of it:

Brltty could have a setting (or maybe it should jsut do it) to put an on/off 
control into a notification. This'd make it easy for a user to turn brltty off 
when he/she doesn't want to use a braille device, e.g. when going out 
somewhere. Additionally, locking/reawakening the Android device could 
automatically turn brltty back on again in case it's turned off by mistake.
