That file has two streams of linguistic content, each of which could be tagged: "fr" for one, "en" for the other. The file as a whole contains content in two languages, and would face no greater issue for tagging than any other bilingual document. In principle, a server might be able to return this content in response to a request for either "en" or "fr". If a user wishes to request specifically *audio* that is in French, then the protocol for content negotiation would need to distinguish between modalities for which linguistic attributes are specified. There is no difficulty whatsoever creating language tags appropriate for this file. The only issues have to do with the metadata categories used for content in a given application context and negotiation mechanisms that make reference to those categories -- all of which is beyond the scope of the current projects of this WG.
