Description

The video.js player no longer needs a plug-in to play a "separate audio file with description." video.js has robust support for the HLS media format, which allows multiple audio streams in a single media source and provides programmatic tagging to identify an audio track as containing "main + (audio) description"; when this kind of audio track is present, video.js includes a control in the control bar that allows the user to switch between the main and the "audio described" audio tracks. For example, see The Elephants Dream advanced example of video.js.

(I personally contributed to some of the support for a separate audio track for audio description in video.js, as well as the support for a VTT track for text audio description, but I was by no means the only person who implemented all of it!)
