By the way, an early audio transcription tool from someone in SIL
stored time-aligned annotations inside WAV files.  The argument he
made for this was that it would be impossible for the transcription to
be separated from the audio.  I guess it used "Associated Data List
Chunk", cf http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html
