I tried writing a "playbin" for the Apple II and didn't have a whole lot of luck, didn't stick with it for long though.
The tone generating routines are already in the ROM of the Apple, since the Apple has/had (some models) a cassette port.
I also tried writing it for the 2600 using a waveform, then setting a delay and modifying the waveform, but each time you did, the speaker clicked. Since then I realized that there is a "speaker click" sound on the 2600, that could use the same algorithm (or similar) as that in the Apple ROM. Never did anything about it, but if I were inclined to, that's where I'd start.
Later,
