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.
This is just a question of where to file the data, and the mechanical
question of how to use it and reference it. The key question is about
having it in the first place. A positive answer to that gives us the
luxury of deciding where to put it.
