Research direction

Start by comparing TimelineJS3's src/js/media/types/Audio.js and Video.js, the examples linked in the issue, with StoryMapJS's existing media handling. Verify how audio and video URLs are identified and how native HTML playback elements are created; done means both URL types produce the expected media elements.
