Uhh...depends a lot on the hardware.  On an Amiga, or an Atari, sure can.
Of course, a machine without a speaker and some hardware to drive it can
only make music with a Midi port to a synthesizer, or something like that.
C is *just* a language - it can't give your machine capabilities that 
weren't built into the hardware.
