If you're standing atop the CPU, maybe.  Even if the oscillator isn't hooked up to DAC its 
"perform" routine will run every block, causing the CPU to do work at regularly-recurring intervals. 
So the ground might get warm, maybe causing some wind around your ears... :)

 My answer is in the form of a Koan:

If an oscillator's output is not connected to a DAC,
does it still make a sound?

Perhaps a bit of broad question, but I find it interesting in order to speculate about future additions.

How do you think Pure Data is limited?
