Not 100% sure if sourcing components is on-topic here, but if it is:
For a hobby project, I'm trying to find a readily available (that is, ideally sold on Mouser or Sparkfun) programmable sound generator, essentially like the sound chips in old computers or game consoles (e.g., the C64 SID, the TI SN76489 used in a lot of 90's consoles or the General Instrument AY-3-8910) and that comes in a DIP Package.
I have trouble finding any sound chips, so I wonder if I'm just looking for the wrong thing? I guess that the truly modern way is to use sampling and FM synthesis and I guess I can always go truly low level by building my own circuit with wave generators and oscillators, but an IC would be ideal :)
