In the diy-synth scene people actually build that kind of envelope
generators. To make new sounds seam an good reason why. Also
envelopes of acoustic instruments aren't linear, hence multiple
envelope points gives a possibility to do a quite good approximation
(of say a logarithmic-like curve). See fx http://puredata.org/Members/
