It shouldn't be to hard for you as a CS-student, I've got a start for
one, but I'm missing a (free) mp3-library with good support for
searching on timecodes in the mp3-file, this is needed to support DTBs
in a good way. I've only found a non-free lib :(.
In general since everyhting is XML-based it's fairly easy to implement a
simple reader that presents a lynxlike UI and that plays the music, but
since you might want to add more UI-types, such as speech, linebased
(like ed), and even a full graphical GUI (hey, we seeing people does
enjoy DTB as much as you blind guys do, and we like our GUIs (most of us
at least) :), and there is much more that can be added, the project can
grow quite a bit out of hand...
/Peter, who has to little time, and to many projects...

Alpha Test Version: Too buggy to be released to the paying public.
Beta Test Version: Still too buggy to be released.
Release Version: Alternate pronunciation of "Beta Test Version".
