I actually like this, at least in some way it could lower the barrier for actually explaining what a function does. Though I don't see this working in an office environment

You can’t skim an audio file, you have to listen from the beginning to the end. Audio makes symbols that are often used in programming difficult to parse or confusing. I… really dislike this

Audio is also impossible to edit/correct. You’d have to re-record the whole thing (or embed an audio editing suite in the IDE). And also make sure only one person recorded the comments (for a consistent voice).

AI generated text to speech would be far better than this.

Yes! Feature creep! Just what I like.
