Seriously... four years and a half after its introduction, the Nspire series has unbelievably few programs ! 
At the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, programmability was an integral part of the success of TI's calculators in the marketplace. Nowadays, TI listens to teachers and test regulations - making their machines less powerful, less versatile, and less desirable in the process.
TI doesn't need to make programming easy, teachers will tell their students to buy a calc anyway. At my school, most teachers like the V200 more than the Nspire, but despite that, they've been only buying Nspires for three years now. Our teacher let us choose wether to buy a V200 or an Nspire, but because we didn't know much about calcs, everyone wanted the cheaper, newer Nspire with more memory and a "better" screen (non-cx). TI's website also implied that it had a color screen, but in reality only the student software has.

In France, where I live, CAS functionality is allowed, and the non-CAS Nspire, whose math functionality is roughly equivalent to that of the cheaper, more programmable and highly popular 83+(SE)/84+(SE), is hard to find in stores. People stick to the programmable and once popular TI-68k series... or buy the overpriced CAS Nspires and help the profit margin of TI and distributors.
You say the Nspire series is overpriced, but the 68k calcs have a smaller screen, no colour screen, less memory and are more expensive. Are the 68k really so much better programmable?

I understand your idea and I can implement it, but you can't make every note because there are more notes than different amounts of bytes?
Edit: Are the 2 additional flag bits you mentioned the same as the other bits?

I'll try to implement and understand it.
Before I read this I tried it with a program that writes a byte to the port, then waits some milliseconds and repeats this again and again. With the amount of milliseconds to wait I could control the pitch.

So what you hear is how often the current gets interrupted?

Ok, now I have glued the wires to a piece of wood and I'm able to get some noise with C-programs.
But unfortunately I don't know anything about how a speaker works, and because I don't know Lua I don't understand jimbauwens' program... Can someone please explain me how this works?

To all those who succeeded at using the dock connector for sound or rs232: What did you do that the wires don't slip out (don't know if that's the right word)?
Because I'm trying but it doesn't work.

Are you sure that the file not being sent isn't just a bug in nspire_emu? Try to connect and send again. edit: Isn't that the issue you wrote about and fixed here?

I've been looking for a program which converts .bmp files into c-arrays which are for the nspire (not for the z80 calcs), that means with 4 bits per pixel. But I've only found z80 and 68k programs which even don't work on a recent pc.
So I asked myself if every one who has made games for the nspire has written every sprite by hand?

Also, (Not really related) If you have:
int a;
int b = 2000000000; // Still within range
int c = 2000000000; // Still within range
a = (b * c) % 10000000000; // Last 10 digits of the productDoes that work, or will it cause overflow? I am wondering because right now, I am storing numbers as arrays of ints with 4 digits in each int, which is quite inefficient.
Yes, it will overflow, my compiler gives a warning. Why do you only store 4 digits in one int, and not more?

The problem is that a power of two can't be odd like in the second picture.
Have you some code?
