Similar: Solaris's snoop (tcpdump equivalent) with the -a option:

Listen to packets on /dev/audio (warning: can be noisy).

You’ve got to throw in some uncompressed pcm audio streams just to keep it interesting.

When we were learning Linux a friend and I used to pipe /dev/hda into /dev/dsp for fun and when we hit some fragments of uncompressed piano recordings we joked that we must have hit the kernel source code. Good times.
