The original proposal was really intended for frames that carry human readable text strings as I didn't think it would be very useful to read out things like URLs.

I see your point, although you can break most things with an authoring tool if you try hard enough!

I'm warming to the idea of a lookup table mapping strings to audio clips, since this would support any frame type and solves the multiple instance problem neatly. How about using a hash code approach to map strings to audio clips?
