Microchip have recently (about a week ago) published an app note about usin=
g a PIC24 as a Class D audio amplifier (see the 'documentation' link on the=
ir home page). I haven't read it yet, so can't talk about its abilities and=
 facilities.

Also Olin had a Halloween project as an addendum to his PIC development env=
ironment. That could probably be adapted to something like this. He had a p=
rogram that manipulated a *.wav file so it could be loaded into ROM, and th=
en did a PWM output to produce the sound IIRC.
