This only makes sense if they were to "broadcast" it using Frequency-shift keying (the kind used in your 2400baud modem).

So should the zombie apocalypse come we can actually reconstruct the Linux kernel. Cos you know, thats important and stuff.

I imagine this is what Commander Data would listen to when he has to take the subway.

If someone only hacked on this to automagically add sweet drum and bass riffs this could be the geek's answer to rap music. I am half joking, half serious.

Definitely. It'd be cool if someone could get the text-to-speech synthesizer to follow a single BPM and time signature. Then throw some drum loops and ambient sounds over that that would switch up every file.

By contrast, doing something similar with the NT kernel would probably end up something like Videodrome.

I found it a little amusing that a text-to-speech engine managed to pronounce "asm" the same way I do.
