What about breaking out the metadata you want to serialize as a class,
or family of classes, separate from the audio data you don't need to
serialize? You could make the audio class point to an instance of the
concrete metadata class, or vice-versa, or have a holder class
reference both. In any case, the point would be to de/serialize all
fields of the metadata class.
