WhiteNoise
Overview
Uniformly distributed white noise generator
Discussion
Generates uniformly distributed random values at the sample rate in the specified range. Internally, the module uses a random number generator and then scales the values into the proper range.
Note: if a constant RNG seed is required, please use the Rand module.

M=white_noise_module(NAME, SR, NUMCHANNELS, BLOCKSIZE)
Creates a white noise generator for use in the Audio Weaver environment.
The module has a single multichannel output pin.
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
SR - sample rate of the output.
NUMCHANNELS - number of interleaved channels in each output pin.
BLOCKSIZE - number of samples per output channel.
