The sound is not sampled out of the horizontal deflection voltage.

The 8-bit value is actually loaded into a counter, where it counts down
during the horizontal line time, producing a variable duty-cycle
square wave.  This square wave is fed into an op-amp integrater to
produce a variable voltage, which is, in turn, amplified and fed into the
speaker.

I sent a message out about all this a long time ago.  I guess a bunch of
new people have joined the list since then. . . .
