Back in the old BBC days I had a speech synth (Superior Software's SPEECH, and 
I've still to find a cheapo speech synth for my PC that was as good) that 
worked by playing a continuous tone on the SN76489 sound chip and then 
modulating the four-bit amplitude very quickly. Could a similar trick be done 
to wrange sampled sound out of the PWT?
