The confirmation of the USB vector also makes the title of the article redundant. Any malware spread by USB will "jump airgaps".
The possibility that compromised machines communicate via audio is interesting in its own right, but the wording of the title, combined with the opening few paragraphs, allows for the suspicion that the malware is spread to uncompromised hosts via audio, which is of course not happening.
The article as a whole is unsatisfying. It makes the research into this malware seem completely inadequate.
