Interesting question. I had similar one about some aspects
of shapes files, and chose to blindly allow complete
editing.
But then I realized that some things are really a waste of
user
attention (for example the bitmap column order flag).
The problem is: what if you open a broken sounds file which
has
different settings for both versions? Which version will you
present in the GUI? You may check for this and ask the user;
this could be a nice behaviour, since I guess there won't be
many broken sounds files around. In a later release we can
introduce a checkbox that allows separate editing, maybe
warning
the user about the badness of doing so. So I say, do like
Wail.
