   The raw mode still just returns one number - essentially the integrated sound
energy, where the weighting function is determined by the sensor mode (dB or
dBA) and is all done on-board the sound sensor itself, not in the NXT.

   You only have the raw "level" data, and even then the time resolution is poor
for something like an FFT of a human voice. *And*, switching between modes (dB
to dBA and back again) takes a significantly longer delay than the normal
sampling interval.

(...) Hmmm is there a "raw data" mode for the sound sensor? Seems to me, it may be possible (maybe not yet but one day) to write a program that does FFT analysis, as long as it can get the raw wave data from the sensor. I'm assuming the "tone mode" (...)
