I'd be pretty interested in some checksum on the audio to check whether some
small bits of my music collection have been corrupted by a datasystem error
 or something like that. Not sure though if that's the scope...

Sure, though OP was mentioning offset issues specifically, which is a non-issue if you do the rips yourself.

Checksumming your music is indeed quite useful, but this can be done to great effect with AccurateRip (try CUE Tools, it can verify+tag your collection in one pass). Duplicating the efforts AR has done will be incredibly difficult since MBz has no ripper backing, which you pretty much need to get a critical mass of checksums.
