I played around with the Java Sound API for a bit and created a small metronome application.
I missed some features with the flash metronomes often used in webteases, slow and very fast speeds, entering the speed in a text field instead of clicking around a lot, and custom beat patterns (like 100 fast, 10 slow) etc.
So my application can produce beats from 1/min to 600/min, speeds can be entered directly, and there is a simple configuration language to enter arbitrary beat patterns, if you need to.

It is available as an applet, but the stop button did hang in some browsers. The offline version should work just fine though.

I also provided the source. So it can be used in other applications, e.g. one of the pcm-clones that seem to be popping up at the moment

And it is available here: http://milovanaflashparser.kenai.com/

Thanks for your feedback.
I could make the automatic repetition of the pattern optional, so it would stop after some time, so you could write something like:
for 3600
beat 0
pause 0.5
And your slaves should be stroking for 1 hour, 2 times / sec.

Emailing is a bit more difficult.
I can't think of a better way than pasting some code into the mail.
Or would you like to use a code for that, that your slaves can't read?

This looks pretty cool. Thanks for putting it together, dtspam. I'll have to play around with it a bit.
I also like les' idea about the ability to send instructions that someone could run and not know what was going to happen. Maybe you could add a third option (simple, advanced, file) where the program would read the instructions/advanced code from a file. It could be a simple text or xml file (in which case it would be up to the user to behave and not look inside the file, but at least the code wouldn't be right there in front of them.)

No, the download version is exactly the same. Just runs without a browser and internet access.
I like the ideas, so I will add them. Maybe I have a bit of time this evening.

So I've added the features.
You can copy the generated code in any email or file and the receiver can play it, by pasting it back.
White space is ignored, so it doesn't matter, if it is broken up into multiple lines.

And links like that should work now too:

So you can just put a code behind the URL of the applet using a ?
