this is probablly super obvious.  but as one as you
pick a cannonical format as is the plan 9 custom
(like for character sets, images, etc.) you should do
well.

there are a couple of models for dealing with lots
and lots of standards.  there's the tcs/jpg translator
model.  but i think the upas/fs model might work better
for audio.  you can present a standard menu of resources
and translate on the fly with a fs.  might be kind of cool.

but i'm sure you'd figured this all out by now.  i'll shut up.
