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

[John vd Waeter]

Lol, I wrote something like that years ago... but in these days it was 
allowed to address the speaker hardware...

Windows.Beep(freq,duration) does about the same, but afaik it is not 
implemented in Lazarus.

sri,
John
