Well, if the external template can spit out whatever tex code, right? So it 
could print the command for material embedding, but it could also print out 
some variable/label which contains the name of the file (like 
emebdding_no_01=file.mp3). You would need to define two strings - 
emebdding_no_01 && file.mp3, but from then you could change filename string at 
one place as much as you want while keeping the label name constant and using 
it within the document (through e.g. insetinfo or ERT).
