zero crossing detection.
count how many times the signal crosses zero. how many times a second it 
changes from positive to negative values or vice versa.
that could be a rough estimate of the frequency. this is not very 
reliable but works quite well with sounds that are not too hissy. low 
pass filtering before counting helps a little bit.
