I think this is a great project and would only be better if we could add support for some of the common audio files out there like MP3, WAV and AIFF. I know that this is a 'video' module but lots of video players handle audio files by default and it will only increase the functionality of the module to add support for these file types.
I have hacked the video.module code to add MP3 support in the past. The code edit is very simple, I added the file type to the QuickTime handler list, but my PHP is barbaric at best. I am also not familiar with how to contribute code to a project.
I would also suggest that you make it so that the video size requirement can be overriden. This means that if I say that the length and width of the 'video' file is zero by zero then it should know that I have uploaded an audio file.
