You can send any base type (Int, Float, String...) and custom classes
that are based on these types. Native classes (Sound, MovieClip,
ByteArray) can't be send because there is no known equivalent in Neko.

The problem is that toString() will certainly throw an exception because
binary data don't match an UTF8 string. Maybe it would be most easy to
turn the ByteArray into an Array<Int> (0...255 values) and send that
Array using SHWX that will write the bytes one-by-one into the file.
