Description
A lot has changed with audio and WordPress since Further was first released. For one, native html5 audio support is in core, and audio files can easily be managed and embedded with the media library. Also, since audio uploads are restricted to a paid upgrade on WordPress.com, it seems more logical to not support audio posts on a theme designed primarily for use there than in the current situation (new default WordPress theme for everyone).
Audio is an often-overlooked medium that is widely used on the web nonetheless; common use cases range from podcasts to music, sound art, interviews and radio clips. Unlike the other currently-unsupported post formats (Chat and Status), Audio is a distinct content-type worthy of post format support in Twenty Fourteen. And it looks gorgeous in the content sidebar, since we have complete control over its visual presentation.

- Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 3.8
Discussed in office hours today, decided it'd be a nice addition especially since authors can showcase Audio posts in the Ephemera widget. Log: https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-themes&day=2013-11-05&sort=asc#m74370
Enable theme support for the audio post format, with similar presentational handling as the other supported formats.
