Why no "audio" type?

Why is there no 'audio' type in the spec?

We only have video, photo, link and rich - which can all return html, be it for an image or an iframe with an HTML5 video player in it or some Flash.

So, seeing as we can easily put HTML5 audio players in iframes, I think that we should be able to define them as such. As 'audio'.

Sure, 'rich' could be a document PDF or something, arbitrary. But why is audio not a 'first class type'?

It's the most easily created and consumed media type in most of the world, yet constantly overlooked (because we can't 'see' it? ;) )

thanks. Kosso
