Yes indeed - but as a slightly more realistic suggestion, Postgres can be used as a means of finding matching sounds. Eg. If recorded sounds are analysed for features such as pitch envelope, centroid envelope, duration etc - and this data is placed in tables, one can find "matches" for new sound fragments by searching for files in the database with best fitting characteristic (ie. run searches on the basis of the least error).

I'd be interested in that one. It'd be fun to turn sales into music (although the other way around would be nice, too).
