Move audio playback bar for Image & Text Blocks

Ideally, I want all text to be narratable for accessibility - locating the playback bar under the actual text in this block means that the user associates the text to the audio rather than the image. If I have a graphic that visually demonstrates something and then accompanying text, it's far more important to give an unimpeded view of the graphic than anything; I want the narration to read the text, not obscure the image which is demonstrating a visually communicable principle anyway. 

Additionally, users accessing training by a mobile phone get a really poor experience with the Image & Text block, since the scaling forces the image to be either under or over the text - In this way, the user is forced to encounter the image first, which is still obscured by the playback bar, or they get the text first and the image 2nd - in this case, it's just confusing. We always want to tie the playback bar to the text, not the image. I can use alt-text for my images as needed, but I really need users to see the playback bar with the text so that they make a mental connection between the text and audio controls. This is especially important for visually impaired learners who might even struggle to see the playback bar altogether if an image is underlaid.
