Csound is perfect for this task I think...
And is included in planetCCRMA.

This is a simple way:


<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
 -d -W -o sine.wav
</CsOptions>
; ==============================================
<CsInstruments>
	
sr	=	44100
kr	=	44100
ksmps	=	1

instr 1	

kenv linseg 0,p5,10000,p3 -(p5+p6) ,10000,p6,0
a1 oscil   kenv, p4, 1
out a1

endin

</CsInstruments>
; ==============================================
<CsScore>

f1 	0 	4096 	10 	1
;	p2: action	p3: duration	p4: freq	p5: attack		p6: release
i1 	0 			3 				440 		.300 			.600
i1	3			1				660			.100			.100
</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

save this in a file (sine.csd i.e.) and run
$ csound sine.csd

You'll end up with a sine.wav file with 2 sine sounds: one beginning at 0
seconds, lasting 3 seconds, with a frequency of 440 Hz and a fade in of 300
ms, and a fade out of 600 ms. The other beginning at 3 seconds, lasting 1
second, frequency 660 Hz and fade in & fade out of 100 ms.

In the "Cscore" section you can add as many notes as you want (also
generated by another program)
