I think what you're doing is very interesting.

I will point you at http://www.cepstral.com/ for a possible solution to your
.mp3 usage. You could use Cepstral's "swift" tool to say the text
dynamically.

Another suggestion on your security: put in a random delay after
unsuccessful attempts. This can help a DoS from hammering your box. And log
how many attempts failed. After say 3 attempts, lock the user's account. If
you're really clever/paranoid, add the cracker's IP to your firewall "deny"
file. This of course is all dependant upon how secure/paranoid you want to
be.
