There is a curious 6th wire connection from the sound sensor which sends analog
sound to the CPU. I am assuming that using some 3rd party firmware, it might be
possible to digitize and process sound data. But I think turning the CPU into a
DSP would rule out all the other processing which needs to take place to perform
as a NXT handling bluetooth, USB, 4 channels of bit banged I2C, motor loop
control etc at the same time. There are only so many CPU cycles available in
every second :)
