I can't see how that's even meaningful. How do you make a soundfile part
of a text document?
You could accompany the GNU FDL document with a sound file, you could
link a sound file from a GNU FDL web page... Making a GNU FDL document
into something that's entirely sound (ie, reading it out, and including
some sound effects), could matter, but that's just an opaque copy, and I
don't see how you'd have any problems just including a transparent copy
of the stuff that's not the sound effects on your CD.
What's stopping you from doing all your music in some XML format, anyway?
Apart from good sense, I mean. Forcing you to convert mp3s to XML (so
that they're editable with a text editor) doesn't seem all that much
worse than having to distribute changes in patch format.
