> If left paren x equals five

you have a bug there :)

also, why not use different sounds for ( [ { etc?

would a different beep for each instead of "left paren" make life easier?



It might. You are putting your finger on a rather experimental way of browsing through code, something which Emacspeak currently does reliably as the only editor I am aware of. Rather than using sound fx, it uses difference in the TTSvoice to denote different syntax properties, kind of like audible syntax highlighting
