Oh yes, the same problem happens when READing the binary data. In this 
situation, the only solution for speed is to copy the entire thing over 
to a memoryblock. Really not fun.
Even if a plugin could read the binary data directly from the string, 
it would still have unaligned reads. So whatever happens, we'd have to 
copy the data.
I think that's a bit pointless really.
