Here's the portion of the mailing list archive where audio is discussed:
http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/2010-August/thread.html

If you proceed to implement this, let us know. There's some library code 
that we'll need to write. It's not difficult, but no one has bothered to 
write it, I believe because no one was much inclined to build such a module.
