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.
