yes...

yes. lots of FFT bins, sinusoidal peaks and tracks... a 5 sec sound easily
results into 5 meg analysis data.
we will also use SDIF, but that has other issues.
storing the large binary chunks somewhere else (after the xml), and have
keep only references to these chunks in the xml seems the best solution.
