Comment 1:

Have you considered user controls which block sounds parallel to the
controls discussed above which block images?

Comment 2:

where it says

    1. [PRIORITY 1]

I suggest that you clarify the set of user choices and align them
as closely as you can in good conscience with the predefined "test
variables" in the SMIL specification.  Link from this document to
that document as well.
