Actually actually...@media speech.  :-)

<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/aural.html>

"CSS 2.1 reserves the 'speech' media type (see chapter 7, "Media
types"), but does not yet define which properties do or do not apply to
it...The type 'aural' is now deprecated."

I strongly suspect the current generation of screen readers don't pay
attention to either one, though.
