The original proposal for a tone audio source was from me, more than a
year ago. It was for testing purposes: to be able to feed filters and
codecs realistic input without relying on external files. For that, it
would have been completely internal and bit-exact.

Now, there is a new proposal. Without looking into it closer, I supposed
it was based on the same goal: testing. Apparently not. But I have not
seen that discussed on the list.

I have no objection to the task if it serves a purpose. But it has
nothing to do with my original proposal and this version, using an
external library, would be worthless for testing.

Regards,
