I don't mind how it's done. I'm looking at aria-live mostly for
instructional purposes rather than for actually using it directly,
because I don't think it's possible to use it directly. But if you can
find a way, go for it. The effect needs to be the same, namely that
the video waits for the text to be finished reading. If aria-live can
make the video wait (maybe by making the complete web page wait or
something), that would solve that problem.

Is the waiting-requirement indeed a use case of aria-live?
