Faster loading of audio transforms in views

To understand this, please upload a WAV or FLAC-file of a size > 300 MB. When you open data about the track view, it will take a very long time to load the wave form diagram. This can be fixed by precalculate it, so it won't have to churn through the whole file in order to create the wave form diagram for the view. This may also be used to speed up the voice tracking and other places the transforms must be show. This is what I'm talking about: https://radio.ericade.net/pil/waveform.png

The reason why these are calculated on the fly is because each peak samples file is approximately 700 bytes per second. This level of detail is required to account for when the user would zoom into the waveform. For a 3 minute song, this is 126k. If this was to be stored for a 10,000 database, this would expand the database size by more than a GB.

Additionally, for the web interface, it needs to download the entire audio file before it can draw the waveform. There is even more additional complexity to draw this on the web interface.
