[gui-talk] MLB GameDay Audio

[Mike Freeman]

Hello, everyone.

I assume that those of you who are baseball addicts have discovered that 
MLB Advanced Media now uses a Flash player to stream GameDay Audio 
broadcasts. One must log into http://www.mlb.com and, having done this, 
go to http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter to make the player work even 
halfway decently with screen-readers -- something that is admitted to on 
the Flash player's banner.

Only problem is that the Media Center always takes you to either the 
home feed or the away feed; the other feed doesn't work. I read from an 
article in the MLB help forum that for the sighted, the Flash player 
shows both feeds and one can switch to the other feed by hitting the 
appropriate button. Need I say, however, that this button doesn't show 
up for screen-readers (at least for JAWS)?

Anyone have a work-around so that one has a choice of feeds, assuming 
MLB ADvanced Media doesn't get around to fixing this before 2013? I was 
on the phone with them for quite a while this morning and they fessed up 
to the problem and said it would be fixed in an hour. Well, it's been a 
whale of a lot longer than an hour and the bug is still there! GRRR!
