   Under the topic 'Aural Stylesheets'(and following) ---
   "'Who's gonna use this?' you ask. The answer is: Effectively no one.
   Media stylesheets in general are poorly supported." ... "It appears,
   then, that your job as Web author need not include worrying about
   media stylesheets for accessibility. They're poorly thought out and
   are effectively unsupported in the real world" (pp.269, 271)

Don't know if this is what you were looking for, it is speaking to the accessibility of various
stylesheet types other than screen. I hope this is helpful.
