Hello,

My team and I are developing a Bible app for Ubuntu Touch [1]. We would
like to have audio Bibles, either by providing the audio files or  by using
text-to-speech.

My question is, how should this be integrated into the UI in a way that
meets the design guidelines? I would like to be able to read along with the
audio (having the current verse highlighted) as it plays, so I want the
audio controls integrated with the Bible reading page. Here are the ideas
I've come up with so far:

1) Have a "Listen" button that makes a panel slide down out of the page's
header containing the controls.

2) When the "Listen" button is pressed, the toolbar gets replaced with the
audio controls.

I like option 1 best, but don't know if this is follows the design
guidelines or not. Any thoughts on this?
