Add option to wymeditor to upload a video/audio.
Discussion: should we host streaming media from the server that is running the hypha instance or rather implement a hook to a dedicated streaming media platform? If so, should we discriminate between audio, video and what more?

As for hypha's purpose of supporting small to medium communities streaming content might as well be offered directly from the server running hypha. Storage is not that expensive and as long as the number of views stays limited a moderate VPS and bandwidth would suffice to support a lot of use cases. Once views grow beyond this capacity its still possible to move to a dedicated streaming platform. In short: implementing file upload and simply integrating the html5 video tag in wymeditor already adds a lot of value to hypha.
