Test Success Criteria of Guideline 1.2

Hi All,

onhttps://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/wiki/SC1-2-1-audio-only-alternative  I
noticed yesterday that the only automatic step is the selector (<audio>).
This restricts the test to HTML5, which is currently not the broadest spread
option to embed multimedia (please find some worst and best practice examples at the end of this mail).

So I suggest to describe the selector more hermeneutic, sth. like that:

All pages including elements containing files capable of playing audio.
Can be identified by any element having an attribute value containing a
media file format, such as .wav, .aif, .aiff, .mp3, .ogg, .oga, .mov, .mid,
.rm, .ra, .ram, .wma, .asf, .swf, .dcr, .avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .m4v,
.webm, .flv, .isma
Note: The list of media formats may not be complete and new technologies
could be added in future.

XPath: <code>//*[contains(@*,'.mid') or contains(@*,'.mp3') or {other media
filetypes...} ]</code>

This way the test would be fully manual, but technology-agnostic.

Afterwards I would add Step 1: audio-only and step 2: prerecorded, each
returning inapplicable if not. Step 3 could check, if it's decoration. (same scheme on the other tests of G1.2.)

I would try to add fully manual tests for all SC. Then we can use it as a
base for identifying possibilities of automation. Please let me know your
opinion.

Frank

Now the examples:
