The SFDB is great for "one-sample-per-file" sounds (like variations on
cod-rumbles ive split into separate files).  A convenient alternative to
filenames and directory-structures.

But afaict theres no way to store tags pointing to regions in a file (or
for that matter loading them as regions in ardour), which would be very
useful.  I havent looked much into ardours sfdb, perhaps ive overlooked
something.  Is there a trick to combine tags from sfdb, mark-info from
sessions, region-list info and metadata (rw) in sf-headers?

Great, i guess its time to chime in then.  I cant find much
loud-thinking on ardour-devel, perhaps on the mantis-issues or on
#ardour?  Any pointers to more info?
