[Lazarus] How to produce a tone at Tone frequency for duration MSecs (milliseconds)

[Peter E Williams]

Hi Michael and All,

Actually I don't need a resolution of single milliseconds. I really only
need tens or even hundreds of milliseconds. Typical MSecs parameter is
100ms. Also, exact Tone frequency is not required... only the approx
frequency tone. Obviously, since I want to create a range of tones then
creating custom wave files would be overkill.

The original TBeeper component for Delphi simply beeped the pc speaker
and used some assembler code, but it was only 26KB of code. It also had
the ability to play simple tone 'songs' by beeping a range of tone
frequencies at different durations. These 'songs' were simply ASCII text
data files. I still have it if you are interested.

Best Regards,
