The Solaris `snoop` command for capturing network packets has supported a -a option for at least 20 years which listens to packets on /dev/audio and comes with a warning that it "may be noisy". It used to be fun to run on a Sparcstation!

It was based on a re-badged black Toshiba laptop with an orange display (T3100, maybe). IIRC, traffic sounded like a geiger counter. (Hauling out this device would've been even cooler, had we dimmed the cube farm overhead lights, and worn 37337 hax0r sunglasses.)
