Explore adding patterns and practices that cover media accessibility

[mcking65]

On the way to TPAC 2023, I had a chance conversation with @eric-carlson where he suggested considering surfacing guidance from Media Accessibility User Requirements in the APG. The goal would be surfacing the information in this note in a place where people are more likely to be looking for such information.

The media requirements note covers several types of requirements. Not all requirements translate into requirements for web app authors; some are more targeted at media content creators. It seems possible that the requirements related to media players and rendering could be within the scope of APG. Perhaps the requirements related to media content could fit into another WAI resource that could be linked with the APG.

@JaninaSajka this is the issue I mentioned in WAI-CC.

The ARIA Authoring Practices (APG) Task Force just discussed Issue 2801: Media accessibility guidance.

The full IRC log of that discussion

<jugglinmike> Topic: Issue 2801: Media accessibility guidance
<jugglinmike> github: https://github.com//issues/2801
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: This is a proposal that stemmed from a random airplane conversation on the way to TPAC
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: There's so much that authors build for media players
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: And we wondered whether it would be helpful to acknowledge and support that in APG
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: First: is this something that should be in APG?
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Second: if so, are there people that have interests in the space who would like to participate?
<jugglinmike> Jem: I'm really excited about this! I work a lot with media accessibility, and I think this would fill a real gap in APG
<jugglinmike> Jem: Though we already have a "media seek slider" example
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Ah, I forgot about that one!
<jugglinmike> Jem: I still think this is a great idea
<jugglinmike> [general discussion about the potential]
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Sounds like there's some interest, but as usual, there's some concern about bandwidth
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: We'll keep it here as a "stretch" idea in the roadmap and revisit it early next year
