afaik, audio cryptography and non-binary audio cryptography 
have been investigated by Desmedt, Quisquater et al. in the last years.

the fundamental bibliography and references is the following:

   Yvo Desmedt, Tri Van Le, Jean-Jacques Quisquater: Nonbinary Audio
   Cryptography. Information Hiding 1999: 478-489

   Audio  and  Optical  Cryptography.  In  K.  Ohta  and D. Pei, editors,
   Advances  in Cryptology - Asiacrypt '98, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in
   Computer  Science  1514), pp. 392-404. Springer-Verlag, 1998. Beijing,
   China, October. Y. Desmedt, S. Hou and J.-J. Quisquater.
