this is a strange concept. devoting the same attention you would to a 
lecture. I often wonder how possible it is to use the mechanisms of the 
brain that would normally be used for speech perception to perceive sound. 
The destinction between speech and sound perception is based on two parts of 
the brain, but in an enhanced environment could the part of the brain that 
is biological stuffed for sound perception be numbed and exposed or forced 
to use the speech perception gyris and if so how would we hear sound? 
hyper-intimately? I often try to listen to voices as if they were white 
noise.

p.s. does anyone know where to get a freeware voice generating program on 
the internet?

thanks
