Not necessarily; the major claim in the original WaveNet research was that they were the first to have a neural network directly generate audio samples.

(Not arguing that these aren't extremely broad and problematic patents, but Google may well be the first in many of these areas.)

How does an NN generate audio without generating samples? The outputs are somehow interpreted as a continuous function / polynomial with tons of terms? And nobody ever once tried to not do that?
