Not being blind, nor having a browser capable of interpreting CSS's audio, I would not have noticed. And CSS should not be adding meaning - only presentation.

CSS allows your web pages (content) to be much simpler (and smaller), shunting presentation off to another file. This should allow your screen readers to function easier, and, as time goes on, audio browsers will likely come about (I can imagine IBM wanting to extend Firefox for this, and then donating the code back to the community, in exchange for the ability to throw Firefox on all of its products' CDs - that would be worth millions to a company like IBM). CSS is looking forward to that day with current standards.

Don't get me wrong - CSS isn't perfect. But it's a heck of a lot better than pure HTML.
