OK, thanks, James! This shouldn't be a problem, then, if I succeed in somehow creating & reproducing the sound in real-time, inside some kind main() loop. That was actually the third question in my original post: > * Anyone knows how to create the sound in real-time, and feed it to > the sound card?
