Consider additional use case - live audio description

[ewanrsmith]

We should consider whether DAPT supports the following live audio description workflow in its current form:

• It would be desirable for an application that facilitates live audio description to generate an exchange file as descriptions are recorded.
• These descriptions would have no associated text at this stage, the expectation being that the audio would be transcribed later
• A DAPT document at this stage would have audio sources but not text

Does it require any adaptation to accommodate this workflow? Superficially it would appear so, but does it warrant the inclusion of a new represents or scriptType value?

<nigel> Ewan: Proposing a potential use case that I don't think had been considered earlier.
<nigel> .. If you are generating live audio description, ideally you would be creating a DAPT document
<nigel> .. for which there is no text but there are references to audio snippets.
<nigel> .. I wondered if that might break the design, or need any metadata changes.
<nigel> .. At the surface level I don't think there would be any need for accommodations for that kind of
<nigel> .. workflow but I thought it would be worth bouncing off others in the group.
<nigel> Nigel: I think this needs some investigation to understand how it should best be represented,
<nigel> .. I can see it would be a legitimate use case but I suspect it might have a different process step at the beginning,
<nigel> .. in other words it wouldn't straightforwardly meet the currently described workflows.
<nigel> .. But it should work, I agree.
<nigel> .. Live AD is a new-ish thing, so we had not necessarily considered it.
