IIRC, in the development of the Android port, the speaker made a lot of loud hissing and cracking noises because it wasn't working properly. Because of this, they added some code to completely disable the speakers altogether. I think I remember seeing a boot option that would re-enable the speakers, even tho it just caused the hissing and cracking sounds. My question lies in the fact that mic/ear piece didn't work before using them during boot-up. So, if we were to re-enable speakers, and then like play an MP3 during boot up. Only issue I can find there lies in the fact that the program you are using to play the MP3 file dies when WinMo dies. Where as the phone call will stay active after WinMo dies. So, if there is a way to make a sound play over the loud speaker without having to be in a phone call, after the speaker is re-enabled, it might be able to work. My idea is to try having someone call you so your phone is ringing during boot up. But again, this is just an idea from someone who doesn't know any of the code or anything.
tl;dr
idea that will prolly not work and prolly has been thought of already
