It sounds pretty good to me - the sound file is definitely a needed addition.
The one thing you haven't got is to remember that audio is slower than reading text and can't be skimmed, and any given page may have lots of userpics - especially if there's lots of comments. These add up to keeping the description as short as it can be while still leaving it meaningful.
This is the part where we desperately need 10+ DW blind screen reader users to let us know their preferences, honestly. I can listen to VoiceOver read the web page to me but I'll never know what it's like reading web pages via audio every time I access DW. None of us who don't use audio access will, and I don't know any other service that has described user icons in the way we do now. So we have to develop our own "best practice" for it. That means, basically, figuring out what people prefer. That's just going to have to happen over time unfortunately, because we just don't have enough users to tell us their preferences yet :(
