Wouldn't it be possible to have an other file type where the samples and
plugins and stuff would get embedded into the file? I know it would make
the size a lot larger, but it would be great to have a file sharing system
where you know that it'll sound the same everywhere without users having to
install and put all your samples into specific places (which they usually
don't do).
