Description

documentation enhancement

First mentioned in https://github.com/audeering/audformat/pull/441#pullrequestreview-2135360642:

"Media file" might not be general enough, maybe a more general term like "sensor data" should be used, as future releases might need to expand to other sensing modalities with fixed sampling rate - or even rare events that are not sampled.
