I was using Delta Sound the other day for compressing sound files and found one inherently evil "feature". DeltaSound changes a SoundCap sound file to keep the differences from one byte to the next. The advantage is that StuffIt compresses the files better. Unfortunately, it does nothing more than that. A file whose type/creator was FSSD SFX! is DeltaSounded and the resulting file is a FSSD SFX!, but it is unusable as a sound until it is UnDeltaSounded. If the file is being changed to something that is not a sound file anymore, why not change the type and creator? I think it would be a big improvement and make it a much more viable alternative.
