I think we might be in agreement here, but I am not being clear.

I think it's the 90% use case. Usually there isn't enough quiet time in the primary audio to give the audio description. >> c) and the timing needs to change; offer two or more sources, one or more of which have the normal audio and normal timing, and one or more of which have the audio description with the revised timing > > The problem here is that not just the audio changes timing, but also > the video. again, I am being unclear <video> <source src="the usual normal program, muxed audio and video" /> <source src="a described program, with timing changes in it, muxed audio and video" kind="audio-desc-of-video" /> </video> >> while it is technically true that the user-agent may be able to make all sorts of ingenious displays, it's not a great system design to assume that the UA and the user will have the time or skills to make the choices over lots of ingenious possibilities. > > We do in fact have to discuss how the display of multiple videos would > work.
