Media field usability is very poor #29

In order to use the audio and image fields on a push story, authors must switch between the file uploads form and the content form. There is no way to upload files using the current image or media fields, correct media url and formats are difficult to determine, and there is no way to determine audio duration.

EE's file_grid type might be a better choice for pushed stories, but is probably incompatible with pulled stories as there would be no corresponding audio file on our server.

File_grid rows can have an empty file column. Switch audio and images to file_grid.
