| Title | Audio-only content with descriptive label |
|---|---|
| Description | Document containing an object element that embeds an audio-only object.
A paragraph with the following transcript nested inside the object element: "Audio content does not contain background sounds."
Note that this is not "multimedia" according to WCAG 2.0 because the object contains only audio that is not synchronized with something else.
