then playback MUST be truncated to end when the

<aside class="note">
"Extended descriptions" are longer than the allocated time within the related media.
A <a>presentation processor</a> that supports extended descriptions
can allow the effective play rate of the audio resource
to differ from the play rate of the related media object
so that the resulting interval has a long enough duration
to accommodate the audio resource's temporal subsection.
For example it could pause or slow down playback of
the <a>related media object</a> while
continuing playback of the audio resource,
or it could speed up playback of the audio resource, so that
the <a>Audio Recording</a>'s time interval does not end
before the audio resource's temporal subsection.
This behaviour is currently unspecified and therefore implementation-defined.
</aside>
<p>If the temporal subsection of the audio resource is shorter than
the duration of the <a>Audio Recording</a>'s time interval,
then the audio resource plays once.
