A while ago I found a command which would let you pipe anything (binary, text etc) into sound.

/usr/bin/ls sounded nice, /dev/random sounded like static.

Can you share it? That sounds really cool!

I think piping something into aplay works, but I used a different command. I'll share it if I find it.

Embedding Youtube videos like that doesn't work, it has to be the raw video/image file.
