Christian,

I tested http://youtube.com/xl and found that it worked well with the keyboard using the arrow keys for navigation when not using a screen reader. When I turned on the screen reader the keyboard functionality stopped. Probably a conflict between the screen reader and the flash controls. The other player that you linked to worked with the screen reader.

The test system was Win XP with IE7, and JAWS 10.
