Spec text:

In this example, an audio element is used to play a specific sound-effect from
a sound file containing many sound effects. A cue is used to pause the audio,
so that it ends exactly at the end of the clip, even if the browser is busy
running some script. If the page had relied on script to pause the audio, then
the start of the next clip might be heard if the browser was not able to run
the script at the exact time specified.
var sfx = new Audio('sfx.wav');
var sounds = a.addTextTrack('metadata');

// add sounds we care about
sounds.addCue(new TextTrackCue('dog bark', 12.783, 13.612, '', '', '', true));
sounds.addCue(new TextTrackCue('kitten mew', 13.612, 15.091, '', '', '',
true));

function playSound(id) {
  sfx.currentTime = sounds.getCueById(id).startTime;
  sfx.play();
}

sfx.oncanplaythrough = function () {
  playSound('dog bark');
}
window.onbeforeunload = function () {
  playSound('kitten mew');
  return 'Are you sure you want to leave this awesome page?';
}

Issue description:

This example refers to a constructor, "new TextTrackCue" that is not defined
anywhere in the spec.  In fact, the spec does not provide any way to create an
instance of TextTrackCue without using a track element.
