I might be mistaken as to the process, but I recall some company pulled this 
off about 10 years ago by allowing the remote jock to record a dry VT, visually 
slip some tracks on a screen to fit, then hit a GO button. The Big Box at the 
other end would import the VT, quickly render *only* the duration of the break 
- three seconds either side of the VT - squish it down to a heavily compressed 
MP3 and send that back to the jock for a QC check.

As I'm involved in talk programming these days, I'm not too close to music 
stations that VT these days and I'm sure a lot has changed. But at the time I 
saw this a decade ago, it was a fairly efficient way to do it. No need to make 
a compressed copy of the whole tune; just render the essence of the break, once 
assembled, and send that along.
