The idea we have long talked about to use media queries on a <source> element to label the accessibility features of its resource could be very useful here. It would allow an author to include videos with and without open audio descriptions in the markup:
<video controls>
<source src="trailer_with_open_captions.m4v" media="accessibility(audiodescription:yes)" >
<source src="trailer.m4v">
</video>
and the user agent will automatically choose the captioned file if the user's preferences say they want them.
