I also know this one: http://www.ted.com/talks/janna_levin_the_sound_the_universe_makes.html Well, literally, there is no sound generated by stars, just like there should be no sound during space battles in the Star Wars movies (but read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_and_Star_Wars#Sound_in_Vacuum). What the sources above mean by "sound" is electromagnetic or other type of radiation "reinterpreted" as sound waves (basically, listening to radio). The idea is cool nevertheless. However, it is something that belongs to the upstream. Presumably a plugin could be written to provide this and, at the very last, you can make some kind of proof-of-concept using scripting in stellarium, I guess.
