Streaming would be the most common use, I would imagine. But, every file should be downloadable as well.

What formats are you looking at?

I am primarily considering reusing services that offer an embedded media player, so whatever format they are using (probably h264 or vp8/9). I don't have a strong opinion about a particular format, but I do think they should be in open codecs. However, I do think that the content is perhaps more important than the format of the media file. That said, trans-/re-coding offensive formats to something more palatable should be trivial.

There'd be a lot of potential to make sick mash-ups of political speeches with something like this.

Oh, yeah :) And we will all be able to do it on any device with a browser!

Awesome. Having support for .wav would be amazing but I imagine it would be very space-intensive. ogg files are a pretty good open-source audio encoding that a lot of people can use too. Of course anyone worth their salt should be able to change it to their needs, but having a high-quality source is the best.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh yeah, I would want the highest quality possible. The only issue with .wav is its size, but I agree it should be available, though it may not always be practical to transmit immediately.
