If asif is like midi it would expect a frequency and a volume (kind of),
you could convert digitized music to its component frequencies
by running a Fourier transform on the digitized data.

The process is not simple, and I'm not sure its appropriate to creation
of an ASIF file, I'm making guesses that that is how ASIF works.
