Anyway, the reason I'm bumping this is because I actually figured out how to edit and re-insert audio. It was a bit of a pain to figure out, but now that I've got it, it's actually really easy (if not a little time-consuming) to pull off. If anyone wants a how-to, let me know and I can write something up.
I know a lot of people have had questions about changing display names -- that's my next (and final) task before I could officially begin work on a mod (I wouldn't want to change everything BUT display names, that would bother me to no end).
What I've discovered so far is that the .btp file you used to be able to hex edit to change display names doesn't work anymore after the 4.0 update. During that update, they added some new players (which became HUGELY crucial to audio modding, so you win some you lose some) AND added some .vars files. I think those files, which seem to act as some sort of player/team database and reference sheet, are the key to unlocking display names.
I'll keep people updated as I continue to make progress.
