 ### 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 and pipe the output to aplay. After stripping, the ELF is 240 bytes; size(1) says it has 18 bytes of code.
