I like your solution, primarily because you're trying to be accessible,
but I'm not sure how someone who needs to use the audio CAPTCHA can find
it. Can you explain what a screen reader would do with this?

<h2>Please click the accessibility icon.</h2>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="movie"
data="access.swf" style="width: 30px; height: 30px;">
<param name="movie" value="access.swf">
</object>

I'm no accessibility expert, but it is a topic that I'm very interested
in. In fact, maybe someone could give a talk on accessibility?
