Unfortunately, you need an infinite number of them to construct any signal, and I think my computer would run out of memory before that :)

Use a square wave.

Ah yes, just run a square wave at twice the range of human hearing, then use a combination of filters to extract the desired ranges. Unfortunately you'd also need an infinite arrangement of filters.

You're making music. It's not that difficult.

Here's a synth using the technique:

I propose a challenge then. I'll give you an arbitrary stream in the format of a .wav, and you send me code, in JavaScript, that uses an series of infinite OscillatorNodes that reproduces that stream completely accurately.

I won't even make you write the code that generates the stream, I'll just require that one sample.

If you can do it, I'll give you $1000 out of my own pocket.
