DAISY DTB is a standard for an audio book with an accompanying robust structure that allows specialized players to help readers navigate the content. As such, they are meant to be an assistive technology.
It seems similar in scope to EPUB conversion, with some extra complexity, such as using Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) to coordinate time locations in audio with structure in content.
There are some dead links in what should be good locations, this is a good version of the 2012 update to the specification.

Issue #1307 is less ambitious, but could be very valuable for creating audio here, especially if markers for structure are somehow incorporated into the audio or time locations are recovered.
