As the original poster, I entirely agree with Glen's comments. When discussing a specific point, it's not helpful if the discussion gets diverted. For the purpose of this discussion, I am not interested in whether providing AD is difficult or if visual content might not be essential. The starting point is that we have determined that it is essential.

I just wanted to see if there is a consensus as to whether the absence of gaps in the audio provides a get-out. It seems that the consensus in this forum is that it doesn't. Which leaves me wondering why every written reference I can find says that it does.
