	Soundhack for the Macintosh has a primitive version of this feature.  It
creates a lot of noise, but then again maybe that's a goal.  Essentially, it's
hard to draw a waveform (besides a sin wave) from scratch, and noisy to edit
an existing one.  Maybe it would work better if there was a very strong
interpolation algorithm behind the clunky abilities to draw with a mouse. 
Don't know.
