Mmm, these are really different, especially when using the media from 
a slow medium (CD-Rom, Internet). On these slow medium, it is best of 
the client app can decide when to do the file access (i.e. explicit 
loads/unloads).

Maybe some optimization for samples/instruments/presets with loops 
would be nice : if a loop happens during the sustain phase, dont 
access the file system all the time. It would argue for a custom 
buffer length for each sample...
