Create a subpage for every article?
Creating a subpage, eg Cane toad/spoken would have several advantages:
 * 1) A central spot for whole article readings, simple subject pronunciations and mid-length recordings of the first sentence or lead.
 * 2) Allow access to recordings with different accents, latin names, subject in different language if notable. Without cluttering the article itself.

Example:
 * Channel Tunnel/spoken could include "Channel Tunnel" in an English accent, "Chunnel" in an English accent, "Le tunnel sous la Manche" in French. Then there may be an Australian accent for the lead (using metric) and an American version (using Imperial). Finally a recording of the whole article.

Linking to the subpage
I can think of three ways to link to a page containing spoken and pronunciation info:
 * 1) Put a little speaker icon at the top right of articles, linking to the subpage: [[Image:Sound-icon.svg|20px|]]
 * 2) Spoken Wikipedia - a little box at the bottom of articles (in the external links section) linking to the subpage
 * 3) Make a new tab at the top of articles (eg "Spoken") linking to the subpage (near the "Talk" tab)

In any case, it may be desirable to have the link remain red until audio files are created.

WikiProject rejuvination?
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spoken_Wikipedia is a very quiet. Should its scope be expanded to include short recordings?
