Changing the accessibilityLabel or text while VO is focused on on element.

I have a control that updates using accessibilityIncrement and accessibilityDecrement and while I have it close to acting exactly like a standard slider I can't find a way to get VO to update itself when the change occur like it does with a native slider control.

- If I use a layout change notification VO updates instantly but it reads the entire control again (minus the hint text) so I get "whatever new value adjustable" and on the braille display I see "whatever old value adjustable" and upon subsequent updates the braille display remains one update behind. I can move VO focus away from the control and back again but this only fixes the braille until it updates again.
- If I use the updates frequently trait the braille is now instantly correct but there is a delay in announcing the changes or the announcement never happens.

I would like to get something like what we see with standard sliders where the new value is spoken and the braille display is updated at the same time.
