It's good to link to the existing version, so that people can compare:

This probably needs something like "(if relevant hardware is present)"
appended to it (or in a footnote). And we should keep the existing
"System-specific bugs" footnote from the current criterion.

I believe the proposed change is good for two main reasons:
1. I don't see a reason to limit the criterion to just gstreamer-based
applications, as it currently is.
2. Audio recording has grown in importance immensely in the last year due
to teleconferencing and we should cover it in criteria.

So I'm fine with the proposal.

There's a question whether this should stay in Beta or be moved to Final,
since it covers more use cases in the new version. Personally I think it's
OK to keep this in Beta, because, quoting from the footnote, "It is meant
to cover bugs which completely prevent sound playback from working in any
hardware configuration". Less clear-cut cases can be decided as Final
during blocker review, and we also still have the Default application
functionality [1] for Final, which furthermore covers some important apps
by itself.
