I know a way of saving more space... ;-)

How about some 3 kB for a song with "almost studio synth quality"? There 
will be a demo or two in the next Kobo Deluxe release.

BTW, I'm storing sounds and songs as separate files, and songs currently 
address sounds by their "waveform IDs", and so songs can share sounds 
both on disk and in memory. (Not that the former actually matters when a 
sound takes 500 bytes on disk on average...)
