Earphones are coils of wire and it crashes the calc when you leave the 
shell. The piezo element is a crystal and works more like a capacitor 
than an inductor (like the speaker coil). You can get a crystal earphone 
from (probably) Radio Shack and hook it up.

1-bit sound requires only 1 wire, but since there are two wires, stereo 
1-bit sound is possible. z-Pong has stereo sound I think. To make 2-bit 
sound you need two resistors of different values and 1 piezo element, 
but because 1 speaker requires both wires, you lose stereo capability. 
You could use a switch to select between mono 2-bit and stereo 1-bit if 
you wired it right (need some diodes though).

It ought to work fine. I havn't tried the values of the resistors.
