Good idea.

Sure, I still have plenty of space left on my domain. I don't have sound files 
(yet), but will try to gather some.

FWIW, a while ago I compared MMTTY against the PTC2 pactor controller by SCS. 
MMTTY was in most cases better than the PTC2 in decoding fluttery polar 
signals. Hard to swallow when you think about spending 800+ Euro for that 
PTC2, which has quite substantial DSP power. But I guess the developers of 
the PTC focus on Pactor, the RTTY part of the software hasn't been touched in 
years.
And MMTTY is also better than the RTTY decoder built into the IC-756Pro (not 
2). Even more expensive, but then I didn't buy it to decode RTTY...
