Sure we do. There are a bunch on the examples page, including the FIQL service I mentioned in my email.

I support that.  But then what you are solving is hAlbum. Not hAudio.  Once we figure out hAlbum, we can certainly generalize upward
to hAudio, incorporating playlists and podcasts as we go.

I think that's a good solution, as it allows us to solve the specifics of how albums group songs into published works, which is much
simpler than trying to generalize all the different ways that media properties aggregate and group other media. We just need to note
that hAudio is waiting for hAlbum and start through the process with the more limited, more tractable focus on albums, reusing what
we've already documented where appropriate.
