Thanks for the quick replies!
I'm surprised to learn that the Share Alike provision is intended to apply
to the use of audio in a video, even in cases where the video is feature
length and the song is one of many songs used in the video. It sounds a lot
more like a compilation to me, even having read the bit in the legal deed
about syncing audio with video.
I did eventually find some of the old discussions on this list, and clearly
my complaints have already been voiced: Under the usual definition of a
derivative work, using an unaltered song in a video doesn't qualify. Also,
that "syncing" language is confusing as heck. But if that's how it is,
that's how it is.
Yet another reason not to like the SA licenses.

Yes :).
Generally it means adding audio to a video creates a derivative.
