Hi list

I am responding to the New Resource: Making Audio and Video Media Accessible.

In my experience, the biggest complaint users have over properly-caption video is that voices are obscured by other sounds, such as background music.

Unless I have missed it, there should presumably be a requirement for a standard multi-audio-channel format that separates sound into pre-designated categories, like voice | background music | effects and so forth, so that the viewer-listener can select different volume levels (or mute) each audio channel separately.

This can be done in many computer/video games today.
