That is what I meant, yes. I have for example 150 psalm readings in
Farsi and would simply set them as

$$$Psalm1:1-6
<seg> type="x-audio">audio/psalm1.mp3</seg>

etc

That in turn is yet another interesting way to make use of the feature.

Essentially once the feature is enabled I presume it would function
exactly the same way as the images currently - which can be delivered
with explanatory text etc. The weighting of text vs audio vs image would
be largely a matter for the module designer.
