### Basic Sierpinski harmony bytebeat t & t >> 8 in as few bytes as possible:
        .globl _start
_start: inc %ebx             # output fd 1 in %ebx for write()
	inc %edx             # byte count of 1 in %edx for write()
loop:   inc %eax             # increment t each time through the loop
        push %eax            # save it on the stack
        and %ah, %al         # compute t & t >> 8, our output sample
        push %eax            # store it on the stack for write()
        lea 3(%ebx), %eax    # a three-byte way to set %eax to 4 (__NR_write)
        mov %esp, %ecx       # pass sample pointer to write() (little-endian!)
        int $0x80            # invoke system call
        pop %eax             # discard sample
        pop %eax             # restore t into %eax
        jmp loop             # and repeat

Compile with gcc -nostdlib sierpinski-harmony.s and, sadly, you have a 485-byte executable that strips down to 240 bytes, even though it only contains 18 bytes of executable code. FreeFull tells me fasm generates smaller executables, but the Whirlwind Tutorial tells me an ELF executable can be as small as 45 bytes. I'm pretty sure you could use its techniques to get this into an executable under 64 bytes.

I guess I should mention that if you run this, don't print the output out on your screen. Redirect it ./a.out > /dev/dsp or pipe it ./a.out | aplay or | padsp.
