title: Generating sounds without a library?
body: <p>I am trying to find documentation, tutorials, examples on how to generate sounds. I mean without using a library that will hide all the interesting stuff.</p>
  
  <p>I am interesting in sound and I want to start doing something with it but I don't know from where to start.</p>
  
  <p>Correct me if I am wrong but the lowest level to generate sound is one of these (DirectSound
  ,CoreAudio,ALSA,OSS) depending on the OS. So I have to pick an operating system and learn the appropriate sound system?</p>
  
  <p>Is this really worth or I should just learn a library that wraps all the above and offers cross platform compatibility?</p>
  
  <p>Maybe this question is not very clear and I am sorry for that but as it turned out I don't even know what I want. I am just trying to find something interesting for my thesis.</p>
