Or provide a SMIL version as well? Although I love SMIL (see http://www.skillsforaccess.org.uk/casestudies.php?id=162 ) I'd say it's still not a panacea. Support can be flaky, and if you just provided a SMIL there's no easy way to, say, just get the text (and then the text itself is in a pretty unstructured format). But yes, by all means, if at all possible you could add it as yet another option, in addition to the original link to the MP3 and the link just to the text transcript in HTML.
