--- Comment #3 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> ---
You can render captions for audio resources by putting them into a <video>
element.

The controls are not regarded as a rendering area for the audio - audio is only
rendered to the audio device. An <audio> element is not rendered visually
unless it has controls, so there is no place to render subtitles into - in
particular if you are creating your own controls.

Using the <video> element works perfectly fine. You can control the size of the
rendering area through CSS.

Also, I don't see why sites should disallow the use of <video> when they want
to render captions on audio resources.
