Looks great.  Indeed, if Lars' initial suggestion of linking in native
'sound'-support to emacs Bookmark+ (or similar) would come quite far.

This is perhaps more for people working with sound in analytical or
creative contexts, ie. composers or researchers etc.  Most sounds in
these working-contexts are typically contained in recorded (or
processed) files, any one file containing several 'regions' -
start-time, duration, channel-index... - one would want to look up
separately without necessary splicing each region out as one soundfile.

I think someone made a snd-interface for org-babel.  These are nice
places to start.

Storage isnt a problem as such.  Any efficient db system, say mysql,
would work great.  Typically sound-collections (in the contexts
mentioned above) grow large, and often are kept on separate
mount-points, and special sound-disks.  Looking up a db-server, perhaps
as an option, would be a bonus.
