aloha, silvia!
since all too often, embedded controls and overlapping controls make
multimedia impossible to use with assistive technology, i simply wanted
to give a strong plus one to your observation that

UNQUOTE
this MUST be made painfully clear in any proposal -- that whatever
mechanism is adapted, it MUST present player controls and captions
in discrete sections of the display which MUST not overlap, even
should the user decide that she wants captions at the top of the
video pane or on the bottom of the video pane, the controls must
always be visible and accessible to the user
