Maybe add some variants of sound chips, like Sunplus' clone of the Yamaha MA-2.

Which should Furnace have in addition?

MIDI (preset soundfonts and soundfont importing)

22%

Multiple sound channels for Generic PCM DAC (and fix the aliasing on no interpolation)

11%

Something else (comment which)

33%

MORE FICTIONAL SOUND CHIPS!!

11%

V.Smile (Sunplus integrated sound)

0%

More Yamaha MA-series sound chips (and export to .MMF)

22%

PICO-8 is not possible:

It only provides very limited options to control sound "registers" (in quotes because most of these are fake)
It's more of a digital synthesizer than a retro sound chip
It's closed source (there's a GPL-licensed reimplementation, but sadly it's under GPLv3 so no good for Furnace)
It wouldn't make much sense to add anyway since PICO-8 already has a built-in music editor
