As published in 1914 it is PD in US.
Its copyright status in Gernany (published in Dresden) is probably unclear, so 
it should not be uploaded to Commons.
 
It can be uploaded locally to oldwikisource and, likely, to some other wikis 
that recognize US copyright status only.

No. I don't have a book I would like to try it in mind, and I guess it would be 
pointless to import an random book on which I don't plane to work, wouldn't it?
Right I would have been interested to find works of Charlotte Pulvers, 
especially Elzasaj Legendoj, but actually I'm not even completely sure the book 
is in public domain as I didn't found her vital records.
Cheers

I agree there might be some work to do at some future point when we're trying 
to import mixed-media works into Wikisource, but I'm afraid for now the sole 
purpose of ia-upload is to convert IA scans of books into DjVus. MP3s or any 
other non-text work cannot be converted with this tool.
 
Have you tried using it? Did you notice any problems?

MP3s were thinking, but they'll get a nicer error message now.
Apart from the file format, which was under some patent issues until last year 
and should be soon be available to Commons (if not yet), what would be the 
problem with uploading the file to Commons? All the more, some books might have 
sound component. My daughter have a whole library of that kind. She also have 
plenty of book with tactile data which often make me wonder how we would 
integrate such a book in Wikisource, as I'm not aware of any technology to 
render that kind of data linked to the material texture. Defining a file format 
to store that kind of data would be surely the easy part, all the more when 
"digital texture" is a topic already extensively covered in the literature for 
3D rendering purpose.
 
Just sharing some thoughts…
 
I dare say I'm broken something along the way, so do keep an eye out for 
weirdnesses and let me know. Thanks, sam.
