Re: Media Matrix: Issue re Clear Audio

I've made the change to
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_User_Requirements#Clear_audio
.

However, we should be clear that separate audio tracks can be provided
both within a media container or as separate resources and we probably
want to support both in the same way. I do think your wording is
appropriate though.

Cheers,
Silvia.
