@manawyrm I basically did the same, yeah. I haven't opened up the hardware yet, I misplaced my Barbie.
I've done some reversing of the software but haven't really found anything all that interesting, but I did find the function that does the communication with the serial port.

I just saw you in the comments section of the Barbie video from Tech Tangents.
Do you have any more idea about the hardware (maybe had a look inside)?
I was also thinking about maybe just executing the software in a VM and looking at the serial port. Judging by the unidirectional nature, maybe it's just pumping out data at a fixed rate and not checking anything.Some details I found about the audio data:
