Well, it would be easy until bandwidth and resources are considered. 44.1
audio would be consume massive resources as far as storage and transfers are
concerned. Perhaps a bad idea. Maybe not, though, if audio data can be
organized in chunks and looped. Another possibility is utilizing Sound Fonts
and MIDI - this would reduce the need for large audio files (you would only
need a large Sound Font).

Just "thinking out loud" =)
