questions re: prefered software and audio settings for volume

[Bill Cox]

If you're familiar with emacs, consider checking out emacspeak as
well.  I hear it has a good python editing mode that works well for
the blind.

Aside from the long explaination, it seems when I turn down the volume on the media player, the master volume goes down, too. Is there a way to make it where they have separate volume settings so that it won't affect speakup?
