There there is the sound and all digital input that has to go through the 3DS. Also, it would be extremely complex to give each system stereo sound based on each character's location throughout the map (stand close to explosion - loud sound, far away - low sound) if you see what I mean. That can be expanded to the fact that the 3DS would have to create different looking screens for each system as it really isn't splitscreen, but "multiscreen". It really is impossible.

Sound is very low bandwidth compared to video. Parallel processing for several "screens" is done all the time in games, it's called surfaces in DirectX and the rendering just needs to be sent to the correct device.

Sure, it is hard, but impossible is really not the right word. The 3DS has the necessary hardware to do it, and "hard" is why one pays software engineers.

No, the 3DS most certainly isn't capable of doing that. Almost every game that use splitscreen has to cut down the performance of every screen (which may be graphics, textures, fog, FPS and such) to even manage. The 3DS wouldn't be able to make such sacrifices unless you want to go back to N64 quality.
