Is it possible to synthesize (not just play *.wav / *.mp3) files in JavaScript? I.e. to write javascript code that (1) produces some PCM waveform and (2) pipes it to the speaker?
Thanks!

I would imagine you can. In fact, one submission to the JS1k contest was a JavaScript speech synthesizer. I think this pretty much proves that music is possible as well (though I’ll not define music here). A breakdown of the project can be found here: http://www.p01.org/releases/JS1K_Speech_Synthesizer/.
You might also find riffwave.js to be of interest: http://codebase.es/riffwave/. It has some pretty impressive examples on the demo page.
Jasmid is a MIDI file synthesiser which has been shown to create some horrendous retro MIDI files that take us all back to the days of Geocities and
bgsound. You can view it on Github at https://github.com/gasman/jasmid, and hear a couple demos athttp://jsspeccy.zxdemo.org/jasmid/.
