Bad news: the export command actually only supports exporting images
(a fact documented in the Reference). You actually can export
videoClips and some image formats by getting the "text" property and
writing that to a file, but even this doesn't work for audio data
because because the engine strips off the header and other important
stuff to save space and processing overhead. So there is no way
recover the original data in an audio clip once it's been imported...
