sound() starts the speaker oscillating at a specific frequency
specified by _frequency (an integer).  Frequencies between 250hz and
1500hz make useful sounds; way back when I had a sheet that listed
various notes and their frequencies (middle C, etc).

You would make a call like
	sound(1000);
to start a 1Khz tone and some time later,
	nosound();

to turn it off.  If you are doing anything complex at all between
sound() and nosound(), you might want to create a program that
consists only of a call to nosound() so that if your program crashes
you can shut the sound off before you go bonkers. :-)
