I have always said electrons change direction, that's the definition of an AC circuit. That's why it's called alternating current, because the electrons - the moving charges - alternate direction. And they do it at the rate of the instantaneous audio frequency. Your argument regarding acceleration is irrelevant. Since the electrons only move about one millionth of an inch at a time acceleration is irrelevant. The drift velocity is a constant, one meter per hour approximately.
