Just as videos going to YouTube (cf. https://github.com/wpoa/open-access-media-importer/issues/82 ), it would be nice to have sound files being posted to Soundcloud.

Please no, Soundcloud is even more hostile to free content. They do not deploy free media formats and do make it hard to download content programatically. Talking to a Soundcloud employee, their internal workflows are optimized for indie musicians and labels that wish to track and monetize their content.
