I think a better approach would be to have the text input field right
after the play button in the focus order as well as providing a
keystroke to invoke the play button from withinthe input field (at
that point screen readers should be in forms mode which enables you to
grab the keyboard feedback).
<p>Please activate the CAPTCHA and type the text you hear into the
input field. You can play CAPTCHA by activating the "play CAPTCHA"
button, or <span id="ins1">play CAPTCHA by Pressing alt-9 from within
the input field</span></p>

<button>Play CAPTCHA</button>
<label for="inp1">Please type the CAPTCHA text</label>
<input type="text" id="inp1" aria-describedby="ins1">
I could go on a rant about the evils of CAPTCHA, but I think I am
peaching to the choir. *grin*
