I bet the speakers were in the black portion of the prototype DS,a nd you just can't see them in the picture.
Mono sound is crap. It doesn't matter if you're in a movie theater or holding a little game in your hand, stereo is important. There's just more ability, you can od more with two speakers, as opposed to playing everything through one, central speakers.
Say, for instance you're playing Metroid on the DS, perhaps you could hear a sound from one side of you that could alert you to the presence of a Space Pirate about to vaporize you. It would work even better with headphones.
