Audio media asset thumbnails

[michael-wynne-wsu]

• [ ] Provide a standard default thumbnail for audio files (to be used in MPI carousels, potentially elsewhere). NOTE that there are two thumbnails, one for each pre-packaged palette.
• [ ] Allow site admins to replace the default audio thumbnail with their own custom thumbnail (site-wide).
• [ ] If a user provides an thumbnail for a specific audio file (this is already an optional field), that should take precedence over the other two.

@michael-wynne-wsu I looked into this and determined it's a back end thing. Normally a site builder or front end dev can set a default for an image field inside the UI, but since the fields don't appear in the UI, they aren't available to do that. I peeked into the code to see if it would be quick and easy and I think it's best to have a back end dev look at this. 😄

@pjudge thanks for confirming that! We'll have Nick check it out when he's back.

For future use.

@michael-wynne-wsu I'm stuck on this. I haven't found a way to load the thumbnail from its location in the mukurtu_v4 themes folder. I also haven't found out how to toggle the two thumbnails based on the theme. Do you want me to keep going on this?

@nick-deer nope, feel free to log it and move on.
