Frankly, I don't see the point. If I want audio or video, I'll buy/download/acquire said material in it's native audio/video format.

My books? I just want to read them.
you can put audio/video in epubs, its just a matter of whether the device you are viewing them on supports HTML5. The Apple store is the only store I'm aware of that accepts epubs with the audio/video tags.

I think theres a bunch of possibilities of uses with audio and video in epubs, particularly in text books. You could embed all you media in players within your epub, so the user doesn't have to be redirected to other sources to watch a video clip or something like that.
