I dont know of any existing things doing this, which is a pity, it would make for a very effective tool for managing all kinds of large collections of sound. There are some metadata-editors for sound around, but afaik only 'standalone' apps, really not offering much more in functionality than file-browsers. One obvious problem in a db-approach is keeping collected info updated after say moving files around or editing them. This could be managed by including historic information in the actual files (version, name, location...) for a 'detective'-script to be able to keep track of new names, locations or other changes, and keep a db updated accordingly. Maybe xattrs already solves this?
