I think that sound file collection (not necessarily music collection, mind you) is a good idea, but I'm gonna echo Grooveman.exe a bit: the bandwidth might be the biggest problem. Which is probably why I suggest a spin-off "splinter site", headed by the staff of TSR, but on a different server so that if one section collapses EVERYTHING is NOT LOST.
And yeah, getting the sound files is a bit more tedious than sprite collection IMO. There's no "Tile Molester"-like program that I know of that can do the same for SFX.
And none of that is taking BGMs into account. I think that if TSR is gonna go ahead with this "audio" direction, TSR should avoid the larger background musics... for a while, at least. Let the SFX stuff go for a while, then when the site/server/whatever you're gonna use to keep the files in place is calmed down and stable enough, then start bit by bit introducing the BGMs to the table.
That's my two cents, and that's my lecture for the day.
