"...can anyone recommend me a different audio file type that is not so memory-eating but that Revolution handles as well as Mp3s?..."
If you do not need stereo sound, you can get decent sound quality at about .7 MB per minute by using the following settings:
IMA 4:1 (that's AIFF-C, I think)
at 22.050 kHz, mono, 16-bit
Using the above settings in stereo will of course take up more disk space.
"...also, how does one edit sounds in Revolution, like control the volume,
etc? Or even record and edit sounds like we used to be able to do in
Hypercard... is that possible with Revolution?..."
See the documentation entries for, among others: record sound playLoudness recordLoudness (there's your "VU" meter)
I don't know if it is possible to edit a sound file from within Revolution. If the showSelection property of a player is true, you can easily manually select a portion of the file to play. Or you can also specify a startTime and endTime in your script. So, you could keep the sound file in its original state, but play various segments in whatever order you please by setting and resetting the startTime and endTime.
I don't recall seeing QT-Pro style selection markers on the Revolution QT-player controllers (gasp!). Of course, you could edit the sound file as binary data (double-gasp!....just joking; I don't suppose that is very practical).
