Hey folks.

I have a very specific question, and it really hard to type it all into Google, so I figured I'd just ask you. I'm looking for a program that will run under linux (without wine) that will allow me to generate specific sounds and tones for specific lengths of time. For instance, say I wanted to make a tone comprised of 1200 hz and 2400 hz at the same time for 44 miliseconds, then off again for, oh, say...50 ms. Is there any program or script I could find/create that can do this for me? Thanks for reading, and hopefully thanks for responding!

Xmms will allow you to create tones.

Something to the effect of tone://2000;2005

You might be able to use the disk writer plugin to save as a wave file, import it into a sound editor to get the correct times.
