When I played sounds of thirty seconds or more on HyperCard I would
routinely break them up into many individual files that played one after

1. Is this necessary with MetaCard? Is it to safe to play .au files of a
minute? several minutes?
Safer than in HyperCard, but still not really safe unless you use a
player object instead of the "play" command.
2. For Mac/Windows, dos Quicktime audio only tracks make more efficient use
of memory than .au files?
No: .au file are almost always going to be smaller than any other
format. Then again, that's mostly because they're of pretty poor
quality. If you want something better, using one of the audio
compression codecs QuickTime supports could give you much better
quality with only a modest increase in file size.
