Media Matrix Issue: TVD shouldn't list audio

Audio shouldn't be listed under any of the items relating to TVD:

Our obligation is to pass data to the user's specialized AT, and establish a method for media control
that user AT can hook into. We have no requirement to self-voice texted
video descriptions, anymore than we have a requirement for browser to
create braille on refreshable braille displays.

We should discuss whether this principle also applies to large-print. I
suspect it's fuzzier in this regard. We want browser to have some
control of fonts and view ports. However, the more extreme enlargement
is probably also a matter for user AT like ZoomText.
