i have reiser on one partition and have seen no problems reading or
writing audio files.
however, there *are* some pitfalls.
the general rule for reiserfs could be:
it's ok as long it's a local disk, no quotas and no ugly
applications like large mail spoolers.
with quota, nfs export and stuff like qmail, things can get hairy,
but most issues are sorted out by now (although some are not in the
main kernel, especially the nfs tweaks).
my advice is: join the reiserfs-list and keep up with the latest
kernels. and get the latest reiserfsprogs.
all in all, reiserfs has been behaving very well for me, and it
recovered gracefully from a number of kernel crashes of the
don't-even-think-about-trying-remote-shutdown-or-warm-reboot type.
