Hmmm...  

The "remote graphics breakout module" (RGB box) is directly connected to the
MVME393/395 graphics board.  Hence, the only access to the RGB box is through 
the Xserver code downloaded to the MC68020/TI34010 that exist on the boards.  
It's been a while since I dug through the Xserver code but I don't recall any
way to manipulate the sound chip for any purposes except the bell (which is 
controlled by the 68020 as I remember).

Sorry to dissappoint you.
