I think manu was just trying to be obvious in his descriptions.

I agree that maybe we have been too far down this path that the
discussion around separating audio, video, and images and then tackling
Media info has gone stale and maybe not the right direction to chose, we
can no longer see the "cow path" never-mind pave it

I vote for moving this discussion back to media info, and go from there,
I am not saying that this discussion has been a waste of time indeed far
from it we have discovered many of the main elements needed of any media
info proposal

fn, 
contributor, 
role's speaker, artist, composer, band, publisher,
published-date.
rel-sample rel-enclosure and rel-payment,
image-summary,
category,
duration,
price,

you can add type atributes, audio/mpeg, image/jpeg, video/mpeg, or any
other type listed at IANA or here:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type
and we would be somewhere near hMedia 

later we can find ways to mark up  codec, sample rate, channels, bitrate
for audio, and codec, aspect, and fps for video and we will be done.

so how about we move this on?
