Audio Import Function
I write for solo/chamber instrument(s) and fixed media quite regularly and the process includes me either creating a reduction in Musescore that is not anywhere close to the fixed media, or using Finale. Adding a feature that allows for imported audio would make writing 10X easier. And I'm sure other composers would also find unique ways to utilize said function.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I assume no one else does either (since there has been no reply to your message).
What do you mean by "I write for ... fixed media"?
What do you mean by "creating a reduction ... that is not anywhere close to the fixed media"? What do you mean by a "reduction"?
I can think of several possible interpretations of "allows for imported audio". Which do you mean?

I create electronic audio tracks to be played with acoustic instruments. I usually write the electronic parts of pieces in garageband, fruity-loops, or other digital workspaces. Then I will start on the acoustic instrument sections that will be played over the audio. The only way to do this is to either use Finale (which I do not like) or create a simplified version of the electronic track in Musescore using the 'synth' instruments.
When I was asking for a way to import audio, I was specifically wondering if there was a way to import full audio tracks into a Musescore Score editor. A lot of contemporary composers are writing in this format.

So, you want to create .WAV or .JPG or some other sound format and import that into MuseScore to create notation for your strings to play?
If that's what you want, it can't be done, at least now. It's a fairly difficult problem, considerably more complicated than language interpretation. But I've been told that it's on the way? (I'm skeptical, but that's what I was told.)
I assume that fixed media, then, is basically a backing track. You start with a recording of some sort. You import that into a Finale document. Then compose other parts to go with the recording. Ending up with one file. Audio only.
