The problem here is that I often won't have the original audio project
files, nor have need for them. Most of the musicians for this project
(www.avaneya.com) only need to submit their work in a high resolution
lossless format (FLAC). That is, from the project's standpoint, the
source form. Passing that through a makefile, different Ogg/Vorbis
quality / channel levels can be produced for different platforms.

The artist might make a change to the audio and submit a new one, in
which case I don't need the old one but only the new one. The repository
would of course have both in there in the history. This is the problem.
