A problem with this is that, if the user is trying to keep their project 
nice and tidy, they may well have already "unloaded" their unused 
files, in which case the audio manager will no longer know about them.

We would need to make "unload" just remove them to a separate temporary 
list so that the user still had some visibility of files arising from 
the project but not actually used in it any more.  (I describe that as 
a workaround, obviously we'd need to be pretty rigorous about what 
files "live" where.)

Incidentally, the project packager has a similar capability already -- 
if a file is listed in the audio file list but unused in any segment, 
it will ask you whether you want to package it (default "no").  So you 
can in principle package in one place and un-package elsewhere to do a 
cleanup, especially as the packager also pulls in dependencies that are 
not in the project directory yet.  It still has bugs (especially in 
unpackage), some work & help needed.

Yeah.  At least putting the recorded date in the filename would be a 
start.
