You could use gstreamer (the same package the measure uses to grab audio data)
to create a pipeline, a command line example is below which generates
a sine of 500Hz

 gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=500 ! audioconvert ! alsasink

In python you could create a pipeline and implement it similar lines
to that given in audiograb.py in the Measure code.


I think it is possible to generate tones using Csound too and perhaps
other Activities are doing it, but I'm not aware of them.

Arjun
