Bug Description

This is a tracking bug for fixing OS X VoiceOver support.

Qt 4.x does not support VoiceOver since Qt's accessibility support in 4.x is based on the Carbon APIs and not Cocoa.

Qt 5.2.x should support this, so switching the Mixxx release to Qt 5.2.x is the only way to fix this bug that I know of.

Mixxx 2.2.0 beta uses Qt 5. Just confirmed that VoiceOver works with the latest builds. The menus are all spoken correctly.

Mixxx's skins do not provide accessibility info to Qt, so this is a separate issue. Bug #1239812.
