I'd love to me able to link a sound held on a remote server to an object in game. The 10 second limit to sounds is very limiting and I have seen a zillion hacks and workarounds. Frankly, having a CD in my inventory that has 15 10 second clips to make a song is just screwy. Now if that object carried a reference to a remote http location, that would be sweet.
This has been implemented in other, similar VR Worlds. What ya think?

The 10 second limit - to the best of my undersanding - was imposed after beta in order that LindenLab not become the next napster.
They can do it, they just don't wish to, and I think their stance is very understandable times being what they are. A bit of a bummer for those of us who want to bring in self composed, self-performed music, but I wouldn't want an RIAA lawsuit either. Especially if I ran a small company that makes as much "magic" as LL does.
Sigh...
