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.

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.
