I don't think that's true.  hCard uses FN for two different types of  
contacts: organizations and people.  The main item's name is  
class="fn".  If that main item is an organization, it's class="fn  
org".  If the main item is a person within a stated organization, the  
person's name is class="fn" and the organization's class="org".   
hAudio is only slightly more complicated because we can also have an  
album with several tracks, whereas we never use a single hCard to  
list an organization and several members.  For that case we could  
still use "track".  Examples of how this might work based on Julian's  
earlier examples:

Single track, with known album (same as putting text in the ‘album’  
field of an ID3 tag):
<span class="haudio">
     <span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
     <span class="album">Best Before 1984</span>
     <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
</span>

Single track, album unknown:
<span class="haudio">
     <span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
     <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
</span>

Album:
<span class="haudio">
     <span class="fn album">Best Before 1984</span>
     <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
</span>

Album with a couple of tracks, simple example:
<span class="haudio">
     <span class="fn album">Best Before 1984</span>
     <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
     <span class="track">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
     <span class="track">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
     <span class="track">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
</span>

Album with a couple of tracks, more detailed:
<span class="haudio">
     <span class="fn album">Best Before 1984</span>
     <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
     <span class="track haudio"><span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</ 
span> – <abbr class="duration" title="P268T">4:46</abbr></span>
     <span class="track haudio"><span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</ 
span> – <abbr class="duration" title="P268T">4:46</abbr></span>
     <span class="track haudio"><span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</ 
span> – <abbr class="duration" title="P268T">4:46</abbr></span>
</span>
