Oh, sure. You can do that with a raw data blob. VST plugins do that now
using chunks, but as Marc (I believe it was him) already said: VST makes you
choose between either using chunks for all your parameters or using no
chunks at all. You're absolutely right that for this example it would be
better to have both mechanisms available.

PS
Just as a side note: I guess saving your buffers to files in your plugin's
destructor is not working well enough for your purposes (separate file from
the preset file etc...)?
