That would be some damn good compression.

MPlayer on Linux (and others) has an ASCII output mode. About halfway down http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/screen.html there are a couple of screenshots (they're labelled "AALib"). Can't tell what the hell they're of though...

That is pretty cool.

Of course, for the full effect you'd need to run the soundtrack through a speech-to-text and then a text-to-speech synthesizer.
