 a total fail to begin with.

 Please be civil.

 Inserting an audio file now just inserts a hyperlink to the file unless
 you've installed a plugin to further handle it. The real work behind this
 ticket is a player with fallbacks that handles both audio and video in
 core itself. The shortcode would be what goes into the post when you
 insert from the media library that then becomes the player on display. The
 library doesn't just insert the URL of an image either - an image tag gets
 inserted, so in that same way, we need to insert something for audio and
 video that "just works" and doesn't have issues like disallowed tags for
 certain roles that then get stripped after the media library has let you
 insert it.
