Why couldn’t Librivox audio books have ambient aural backgrounds for each scene (e.g. a scene at the market could contain some background sample of the Jean-Talon market, properly edited and mixed so as to keep the main audio intelligible)?

Or for that matter, could dialogues be actually acted out by different persons instead of just read by one person? Maybe you already thought of these, but they just appeared to me now.

Oh, and Happy HughDay!
