    I had a deeper look at 4klang, it looks like it's not really taking care of sound output, it's "only" creating the sounds and filling a buffer (I might be wrong, that level of assembly is soooooo over my head. still damn interesting to read, tho)

    Another thing that comes very close is this: https://github.com/hzdgopher/4klang This is a synth supposed to produce a size-compact output suitable for demos and similar scenarios. It does not create a XML (merely the opposite) but the main point is that the principles are close to what you are describing.

    Two resources that spring to mind are 4klang and this old article series by kebby that doesn't seem to be online any longer. Mirrored here.
