Where to start?
A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.

Learn Scheme by Example: Tk GUI with Chicken Scheme
The Allegro egg is accompanied by a couple of examples but no examples showing the use of the audio addon. The Allegro library itself comes with an example showing how to generate a saw wave, but being a C library, the example is, of course, in C. I ported that example to Scheme. I would have contributed the example back to the Allegro egg, but the repo is marked as "archived by the owner" and read-only on GitHub. I've included the example in the repo alongside the rest of the code for this tutorial in case someone finds it useful.
