Sleep

A user has set their sleep timer. Then, when they open it, the option they have selected is not visually marked or announced to a screenreader.

When user opens sleep timer menu, the current rate set in player should be visually selected with a red outline and should be announced as "selected" to a screenreader.

Mark's investigations have found an accessibility limitation where we cannot overwrite text with an accessible label.

"Unfortunately, it seems like this one just isn't possible. We are definitely setting the "content description" (the bit that's read out by the screen reader) to the correct "one and a half times playback speed" string, but it seems that Android ignores those for text views and just uses the content of the text view instead. This means that it'll just say 1.0x → "one point oh ecks" because that's what the onscreen text says."

We are not able to address this issue with the existing api and to add that enhancement will need to rethink design. The information about which rate is selected is always presented on the player view so a user of a screen reader can still access that information. We see this as an enhancement.
