hello,
thank you for your remarks. a sample of the code I am trying to parse: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<vxml version="1.0" application="news_root.xml">
<form id="Kategorie">
    <field name="kategorie">
        <grammar src="gram/kategorie.grammar"/>
        <prompt bargein="true">

+rt.wav">xaxaxaxa</audio>
        </prompt>
        <filled>

        </filled> 
    </field>    
    <noinput count="1">

    </noinput>
</form>
</vxml>

I will implement the first point, and post further feedback. If there is a "well-formed-ness" error in the code above, it is because I triaged a bit, the document itself is longer (and validates).
A further note: The point I want to reach is to have all the audio and goto tags in a hash, if my approach is totally wrong please warn me.

thanks again, jan
