This is indeed very interesting.
When I do Section 508 testing, I usually stick with the checkpoints in 1194.22.
But when we were filling out the recent DOJ Section 508 survey, in the section pertaining to 2 Web sites and 2 Web applications to be tested, there were definitely more than the 16 checkpoints listed. I believe the extra ones came from 1194.24, including those pertaining to captioning and audio description. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. (grins)
