As said, all the great things Oral history can be done - outside of
Wikipedia. And what local Wikipedians like to do with it, will be
decided in the community.

Actually, Wikipedia sort of is the place for original content - when it
comes to illustrations in articles.
Those illustrations are mainly in Commons, with exception of the images in
fair use, but linked in the articles. That kind of original content also
plays a minor role, only "illustrating" the article, but we cannot reference
a sentence as "vide image", for instance.
It's possible to envisage audio recordings
being used in appropriate
Wikipedia articles along the lines of 'listen to a fisherman from the coast
of Shandong talk about his work', more in the current role of
pictures/photographs rather than as references.
In this case, the audio files will be in Commons, too, and as you pointed,
won't be used for referencing a specific assertation in the text. It will
be, just like images, illustrating the written content, as we do now with
music samples in musicians biography[1]. I suggest transcribe the interview
for Wikinews and use it in inline citations, as in {{cite news}}, for i)
easier checking than by {{cite video}} and ii) facilitate translating.
