Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I ended up using get+set, as it's  
important to click once and have a wav file ready, with no extra steps.  
One problem is that some samples overlap, so I had to use different tables  
and [iem_tab/tab_sum] to mix them. Maybe with more time I'll be able to  
have a look at another solution.

That could be interesting, but I'll have to experiment a bit more, I'm not  
sure I get the principle.


Best,
