I thought I sent the mail below, but it didn't show up in the
mailing list. Sorry if this is a double post.

Okay, I won't disregard it.

Do you think PWM is possible using the modulation envelope? You could
control the width by changing the decay and sustain phases in runtime.
The volume envelope can not drop to zero instantaniously but in a span
of 64 samples.
