IMO sound support is completely outside the normal scope of the installer 
and substantially increasing the size of the initrd and memory 
requirements (even if only for the graphical installer) for that, 
whatever the noble intentions, is utterly insane.

I also wonder for what languages this proposed change will add speech 
synthesis support. If it's only a few selected Western languages, then 
IMO it's also not in the general spirit of the installer.

Yes, I agree at this point we should definitely switch to separate 
accessibility images and separate accessibility CDs. The impact of 
accessibility additions on the regular images is becoming way too big.
