Actually, Wikipedia sort of is the place for original content - when it comes
to illustrations in articles.
Those illustrations are mainly in Commons, with exception of the images
in fair use, but linked in the articles. That kind of original content
also plays a minor role, only "illustrating" the article, but we cannot
reference a sentence as "vide image", for instance.
It's possible to envisage audio recordings being used in appropriate Wikipedia
articles along the lines of 'listen to a fisherman from the coast of Shandong
talk about his work', more in the current role of pictures/photographs rather
than as references.
In this case, the audio files will be in Commons, too, and as you
pointed, won't be used for referencing a specific assertation in the
text. It will be, just like images, illustrating the written content, as
we do now with music samples in musicians biography[1]. I suggest
transcribe the interview for Wikinews and use it in inline citations, as
in {{cite news}}, for i) easier checking than by {{cite video}} and ii)
facilitate translating.
