Completely off-topic here, but anyways: Actually, a lot of audio and
video editing software work in this way. Rather than destructively
editing an audio file, you create "edit lists" that contain editing
instructions, like "Fade here," "pan here," "change EQ there" and so
forth. Edit lists are used so you don't destroy the original file.
These programs also have the option to render mixes to a new file, so if
you're mixing a lot of tracks, you don't use up all of your DSP
resources. You just render the mix in parts, and build a new mix out of
the pre-rendered bits.
An edit list, if a text file, would be ideal for putting into a
revision-control system.
