When this label is part of a conformance profile, the user agent must implement at least one audio format. Furthermore, when this label is part of a profile, the user agent must satisfy the requirements of checkpoints 3.2 and 4.7 for all implemented audio formats, not just those identified in a conformance profile. The audio requirements apply to audio content that is recognized as distinct and that, according to the encoding format, may be rendered as a coherent unit.
