Your ears decode multiple frequency's at the same time so nothing limits things to a single color at a time.
But, this is for someone who literally could not perceive color at all but can still see. If he waves it around he can probably quickly tell that the wall is blue or white and then focus on extracting details from things he finds interesting.
Taking onboard what you said, a system could work to match sound volume with direction to see in a higher resolution.
I.e. It would superimpose all color in range together with those closer to the center having a higher amplitude. So the colors directly ahead would be player louder and peripheral colors played quietly.
Or perhaps this is how it works already....
Roughly how many different notes could you hear at a time?
