I'm not sure however to understand what the atom:link could provide. If it

Actually, I was thinking of using atom:link to capture the bits of 
metadata that would vary per media file.  Ex:

<entry>
...
<link rel="enclosure" href="1234.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
  <x:channelMode>mono</x:channelMode>
  <x:bitrate>128<x:bitrate>
</link>

<link rel="enclosure" href="1234.mp3" type="audio/wav">
  <x:channelMode>stereo</x:channelMode>
  <x:samplingRate>44.1<x:samplingRate>
</link>

<link rel="http://xxxxx/thumbnail"; href="1234.jpg" type="image/jpeg">
  <x:height>120</x:height>
  <x:width>120</x:width>
</link>

</entry>
