Running youtube-dl -f bestaudio/best -x URL will try first to download an audio only file format and fallback to the video+audio if it's not available ( -f bestaudio/best is the default when you use -x and no extra config or arguments). Read the FORMAT SELECTION section in the manual for the full information.
