var uses the resultant type on the right-hand side of the assignment statement to infer it's type, which (I believe) is object is this case.

To make the properties visible you need to cast the SelectedItem to it's actual type.

private void SoudListPicker_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // TODO: Add event handler implementation here.

    var item  = ((sender as ListPicker).SelectedItem) as Expression.Blend.SampleData.soundsEFXSampleDataSource3.sound;

    if(item != null)
        MessageBox.Show("Selected Item is : " + item.src);
}
