Ah, the PulseAudio sample cache system seems about like what I was thinking 
Ian meant.

How is memory usage, though, with your average sound theme?

Also, just making MediaObject read in the file and passing it through a 
bytestream is pretty easy too. Maybe as a fallback if PulseAudio isn't 
availble?
