I could imagine that people have troubles with the given constraint. Any
sound consists of only sine waves. For instance, I often use
band-limited oscillators for saw tooth and rectangle waveforms, which
are based on the tables that are generated using the sinesum command,
which means the waveforms are composed purely of sine components. But
even if you do not compose a waveform yourself like when you're using a
[phasor~], the waveform still consists of a sum of sine components in
the end (either explicitly or implicitly). So, where do you draw the
line?
Strictly sticking to your constraint, every music I ever made in my life
would fit the application. But then, I can't see the reasoning anymore
for making a constraint at all.

Don't get wrong, I generally appreciate your effort in creating a
submission/competition of this kind, but encourage you to refine the
constraints.
