Hi Charly,

Very useful and exciting work....


You might want to take a look at the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) which apply to browsers and media players. Version 1.0 is a W3C Rec and version 2.0 is in development:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2011/ED-UAAG20-20110406/


Also, you might be interested in checking out what other groups are doing with accessible players. Here is a list that I received from a contact a few months ago:
