Something I neglected to mention - testcases like this work best when 
they're short.

So if it would take a while (maybe 30 minutes min) to run something - 
thinking about audio/graphic production then I'm not sure about the value.

You might be better exploratory testing - probably what you do - that is 
run with the dev version and report bugs.
