Is there any function available on a Pocket PC to play a
sound at a particular frequency? I am about to write a
program to enter music note-by-note, and need to be able
to play what I enter to 'proof-listen' to what I have
entered. I need to be able to put together the music on
the fly based on what I have just entered.
 
There is a MIDI/WAVE function in C++ that can produce DTMF sounds... but you
would have to write your own wrapper for it. Also, you would have to spend
some serious time on multi threading and high performance timers to make
sure that your playback was smooth. Alas - this is one area that Pocket PC
does not shine well in.

Is this a function in the Windows CE API? If so, could
you give me the name of the function so that I can look it
up?
 
As an alternative, does anyone know how to play a MIDI
file on the Pocket PC?

If not, is there any way to create a wave file on the fly
from individual musical notes?
