Title:  Audio format handling

Depending on the direction of the PHP core team, this may be a mute request, but I think it deserves *some* attention as it could open up a new door for PHP dev's.

Expected result:
----------------
I would like to see some functionality for audio files.  Just the basic types I would imagine like .wav / .mp3.  There may be a licsensing issue which could be why support has not been added, I don't know.

I wouldn't see the need for hellua methods either, just a basic class for reading/writing.

Reading:  
One should read the audio file into a resource string ( e.g fopen() ) and then be able to stream the resource to the browser, I would imagine it would be better to do it after the headers have been sent.

*An added bonus here would be to also allow the method to convert the resource to it's text-based equivelant for echo'ing, but that may be "reaching to far".

Writing:
Again, just a basic class method that allows the user to pass text/string values to the method and the method converts/compresses the value into the proper file format.

I don't know what kind of resources the class would consume on the server so I would guess make a PECL first ( I also made this comment there ) but I thought I would make it here as well ( in the hopes that if it were to be done, it would be built into PHP ;) ).
