These are some really good ideas. I have tools that can do the audio editing. I do that when my daughter wants to play 3 or 4 parts of a song. Lining up the tracks and piecing things together so the audio doesn't sound bad sounds possible. I'm more worried about the flow of the content. That might not be a problem though if everyone knows it is coming. Tell people what section is coming up, and then add the audio. Do the same for the next section and so forth. Not great flow, but the content could be there.
I guess it depends on what we really want. I'm willing to forgo great quality audio as long as it sounds ok and the content is great. (By the way, there are probably people here infinitely better at dealing with audio than I. I just wanted to give an example.)
