If you're looking at straight cause 
and effect control from a sound then 
you could use a sound operated switch
-QED do one:

Then you can use all or any of cause 
and effect software you like.

You can adjust the threshold of the 
sound that operates the switch, but 
any sound will work: voice, banging, 
clapping, music.

I've found you can get it to work 
best using a directional microphone 
or clip on one, rigged up to point 
to the pupil.

'Amazing though how even people whom 
you wouldn't think would register 
what a microphone was will stop 
vocalising when you point a 
microphone at them.
