You can set the pitch of items with the SetFrequency() call in
DirectX's DirectSound. That'll let you make continual small changes
w/o huge 'steps' that the discrete samples would involve.

This is more an issue with the creation of sound efx, not the
playback. Some sound editing programs allow you to play a sample
looped, so you can hear it again and again. I know the copy of
SoundForge XP which came bundled with my Soundblaster Live years ago
has that capability. You'll probably want to find a short sample that
doesn't have distinct parts, and loop that.
